Answer 2

The ocean layer of rapid temperature change with depth is known as the thermocline.

Further Explanations:

A thermocline is defined as a steep gradient in water masses such as lake, arising due to variable temperature below and above the water mass. It is observed that most of the thermocline originates at 100 meters. In an aquatic ecosystem, it is a layer of water having a steep decline in temperature. At this layer,the temperature drops with a much rapidly than in the layers above it. A thermocline phenomenon is very important for the survival of the aquatic ecosystem. During summer when the temperature of the water body rises, the thermocline layer begins to release a maximum amount of oxygen dissolved in it.  Because of this, it is important as the layer below it has no dissolved oxygen and the oxygen released by it helps the aquatic ecosystem to survive.  

In ocean water thermocline, the temperature of the water decreases rapidly with the increase in depth and thus as we go deeper the amount of oxygen also decreases making thermocline a significant phenomenon.
