Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease quickly with depth?

Because of the fluctuation.

In most ocean regions, wind-driven circulation, which has been the focus of discussions so far, does not reach below the first kilometer of the oceans. The renewal of the waters below this depth is achieved by currents that are guided by differences in density produced by effects of temperature (thermals) or salinity (halinos). The associated circulation is therefore referred to as the thermohaline circulation. Since these movements are mostly quite slow, it is very unlikely to use direct current meters (current meters); they are usually estimated by the distribution of the physical properties of the water and the application of geostrophy.

The driving force of thermohaline circulation is the formation of water bodies. Water bodies with well-defined salinity and temperature characteristics are created in specific regions by surface processes; they then sink and slowly mix with other bodies of water as they move. The two main processes for the formation of water bodies are deep convection and subduction. Both are linked to the dynamics of the mixing layer on the surface of the ocean; thus, it is necessary to first discuss thermohaline aspects of the surface ocean first.

ale4655 [162]

Begun in the 3rd century AD, the crisis of the Roman Empire was mainly caused by the fragmentation of its western part with the arrival and installation of the Germanic peoples.

From the third century AD, the Roman Empire began its phase of decline and decay, which eventually resulted in the fragmentation of its western part. The economic and political crises added the arrival of the Germans, leading to the end of the western part of the empire and the occupation of its territory by these peoples.

Roman art was produced by the people belonging to Ancient Rome and lasted from about the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD.

It was strongly influenced by the Etruscans and Greeks, and the most significant artistic manifestations date back to the establishment of the Republic in 509 BC.
