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.

Cell membrane is made up of four different types of molecules; namely phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates. <span>Its flexibility is from phospholipids because phospholipids are made up of two layers; one layer is hydrophilic and the other is hydrophobic. Just like a vegetable oil, the hydrophobic layer of the phospholipid bilayer does not like water and is able to move sideways with in the cell membrane to avoid contact with water.   </span>
