Properties Of Ocean Water By: Marsha Sandoval Johana Diaz Lorena Rodriguez Alexis Ortega

Temperature Of Ocean Water To learn about the temperature, you have to first learn about the parts of the ocean. To learn about the temperature, you have to first learn about the parts of the ocean. Surface- top part Surface- top part Deep ocean- the 3 rd part of the ocean Deep ocean- the 3 rd part of the ocean Thermocline- divides the surface and the deep part of the ocean. Thermocline- divides the surface and the deep part of the ocean. The sun hits the surface layer of the ocean heating the water. The sun hits the surface layer of the ocean heating the water. The temperature of the surface water is mainly about water. The average temperature of the ocean surface water is about 17 degrees celsius. The temperature of the surface water is mainly about water. The average temperature of the ocean surface water is about 17 degrees celsius.

Thermocline The thermocline is a layer with in a body of water were the temperature changes rapidly with depth. The thermocline is a layer with in a body of water were the temperature changes rapidly with depth. A transition layer between deep and surface water. A transition layer between deep and surface water.

Color Of Ocean Water The sky condition can make a difference of the color of the ocean water even fresh water. The depth of the water changes on how much light is reflected from the sea bottom below. The sky condition can make a difference of the color of the ocean water even fresh water. The depth of the water changes on how much light is reflected from the sea bottom below. Shallow water such as near a beach the light reflected from the sand below the water will make the water look lighter (green). Shallow water such as near a beach the light reflected from the sand below the water will make the water look lighter (green). In the deep water where little or less light is reflecting from the bottom, making the water look dark blue. In the deep water where little or less light is reflecting from the bottom, making the water look dark blue. Water ever is in the ocean such as seaweed, soil, suspended sand, etc. also affects the ocean color.

Color of ocean Water The Ocean Covers over 70 Percent of the earth’s surface, most of the sunlight that reaches the earth falls on the ocean.

That is what changes the color of the surface water.

Salinity Of Ocean Water Salinity is a measure of dissolved salts in water. Salinity is a measure of dissolved salts in water. Salinity is the measure of all the salts dissolved in water. Salinity is usually measured in parts per thousands. The average ocean salinity is 35ppt. Salinity is the measure of all the salts dissolved in water. Salinity is usually measured in parts per thousands. The average ocean salinity is 35ppt. This means that in every kilogram of seawater, 35 grams are salts. because the water is estuaries is a mix of fresh water.
