When the upper water layers warm in the summer months, they become separated from deep water by a transition zone known as a thermocline. In a thermocline, the temperature decreases rapidly with small increases in depth. This phenomenon linking temperature change with depth is called temperature stratification.

Answer:

As we move down in the ocean, the temperature decreases. The sunlight reaches the upper surface of water and heats it.The temperature changes as the depth of the ocean increase.

The reason is sunlight does not reaches the lower part of the ocean. The density is also keeps on increasing as we move down and is maximum at 4 degree Celsius.The temperature of the water also depends on the season and climate.

How can a change to the population of one species affect an entire ecosystem? <br><br> please help!!

irinina [24]

Answer:

When change occurs in the population of one species affect the entire ecosystem. If the population of herbivores goes very high then all the producers i. e. Plants are eaten by the herbivores and no vegetation is available for other animals and they will die because of hunger.

For example, if the population of deer increases in a forest ecosystem, so all plants are eaten by the deer and no plants are available for another herbivores.

Answer:

Test a hypothesis

Explanation:

An experiment is done to test a hypothesis. An experiment can either prove or disprove a hypothesis. The experiment should be designed in a way that it can be repeated for validity to ensure that the results that come out of it holds true each time.

A hypothesis is made before the experiment is done. Developing data is done through interpretation of the results of an experiment. A conclusion is formed through analysis of the data obtained from an experiment.
