Detailed explanation-1: -The sea surface temperatures range from as high as 97 °F (36 °C ) in the Persian Gulf to 28°F (-2°C) near the North Pole. Interaction with the wind keeps this layer mixed and thus allows the heating from the sun to be distributed vertically. At the base of this mixing layer is the beginning of the thermocline.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hottest ocean area is in the Persian Gulf, where water temperatures at the surface exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Another hot area exists in the Red Sea, where a temperature of 132.8 degrees Fahrenheit has been recorded at a depth of about 6, 500 feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The torrid zone is the hottest heat zone on the earth. It extends on both side of the equator and is bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. That is between 23 degrees half minute North and 23 degrees half minute South latitudes.
Detailed explanation-4: -The warmest ocean in the world is the Indian Ocean. Q. In which one of the following oceans, the ocean, currents do not move regularly in one particular direction ?
Detailed explanation-5: -Epipelagic Zone With that sunlight comes heat from sun, which is responsible for wide variations in temperature across this zone, both with the seasons and latitudes-sea surface temperatures range from as high as 97°F (36°C) in the Persian Gulf to 28°F (-2°C) near the North Pole.
