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.

Answer:Organ

Explanation:An organ may be defined as a group of tissues which perform similar functions. Organs can be found in both plants and animals,functionally related organs often cooperate to form systems. These organs are interdependent on each other to make up organ systems. Organ systems can be found in the different parts of the body. For instance,the esophagus,stomach and liver make up the digestive system and in the excretory system the skin and kidney are examples of the organs that can be found here. The main tissues of an organ tend to have the same embryological origin. This simply means that they arise from the same germ layer and by germ layer we mean the primary layer of cells that form during embryonic development. In plants however,the main organs are the roots,stem and leaves whose primary functions are to give nourishment to the plant. Reproductive organs of plants include the seed,flowers and spores which maintain the basic life processes of the plant.
