<em><u>The ocean layer of rapid temperature change with depth is known as the thermocline. </u></em>

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.

Climate change is caused mainly by changes in the balance between the amount of solar radiation received by Earth and the amount
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Yes, that is very much true, just because climate change is caused mainly by changes in the balance between the amount of solar radiation received by Earth and the amount of heat radiated back into space by the Earth.

  • <u>Climate change:</u>

<em>"The change in stability of the environmental factors or the negative effects  in the equilibrium inside the environment is called as the climate change."</em>

  • <u>Global Warming And the green house effect:</u>

<em>"The overall rise in temperature of the earth spheres and its environment is termed as global warming, and its due the green house effect(the negative effect due to the increase level of CFC's)."</em>

  • <u>The trapped Sun radiation inside the earth's sphere:</u>

<em>"Due to large number of CFC's inside the earths sphere, as they results in trapping the radiation which needs to be radiated back out of the earth's sphere. Causing the rise in temperature of the overall environment."</em>

Explanation:

  • The chloro, floro and carbon elements which are also termed as the CFC's in general are created due increase level of industrial waste presence in the environment, leading to more solar radiation trapped inside the outer sphere of the earth's protective shield. Due, to this process the gasses are trapped inside the earth's sphere resulting in the rise in temperature.
  • <u>Consequences of Climate Change:</u>
  1. As our earth passed from various levels and situations and as there were also some ice ages, which almost resulted in creating inhabitable situations for the living beings.
  2. But, these days earth is facing some alarming situations in the form of high temperature in its environment, which is some how leading to some thing more worse.
  3. There will be less resources of food in the near future and most importantly there will be species like polar bears and some marine animals who will face extinction due to the rise in temperature inside the environment.
