Answer:

Thermocline.

Explanation:

An ocean is a body of salt water which covers approximately 70% of the Earth's surface. About 97% of the Earth's water is comprised of ocean and as such it is the most prominent and defined feature of the Earth. There are basically four (4) categories of an oceanic basin and these are;

1. The Pacific ocean.

2. The Artic ocean.

3. The Atlantic ocean.

4. The Indian ocean.

A rapid change in temperature with depth is known as thermocline.

Basically, it is considered to be a thin but distinctive water region in a large body of fluid that is thermally stratified such as an ocean, in which temperature changes rapidly with an increasing depth.

This ultimately implies that, the temperature of water decreases rapidly (drastically) as the depth of water increases.

Aleksandr [31]

A conversational plan with two habitat preserves, measuring a total of 20 square kilometers combined will preserve more species because this cause segregation of species based on their adaptability towards a safer and secure environment. For example if a lion and deer try to live in the same conservation area, then it’s obvious that the life of deer is always at risk. But in cases of segregated preserved areas both herbivorous and carnivorous animals can live separately. Also if there is special inclination of one species towards other then also these two species can live separately.  

Segregation also enhances the diversity in the sense that it could lead to a new ecosystem with a new ecological balance within it. Conservation biologists focus on these areas as they claim that  where the greatest number of unique species can be found and protected with in the large number of reserve areas with the least amount of effort
