The cold water observed along the northern California coast in summer is mainly due to:  upwelling .

  • here Upwelling is a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface replaces warm water from the surface.
  • Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”
  • Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.
  • Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity. Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.

How does temperature change with depth in Earth's interior
forsale [732]

i hope this helps you

from google:

"The Earth gets hotter as one travels towards the core, known as the geothermal gradient. Geothermal gradient is the amount the Earth's temperature increases with depth, indicating heat flowing from the Earth's warm interior to its surface. On average, the temperature increases by about 25°C for every kilometer of depth"
