| Consider the following statements with regard to vertical variation of temperature in the oceanic water. |
| 1. In the tropical areas, there are three distinct layers of water according to temperature characteristics. |
| 2. In the polar region, there is a uniform layer of water. |
| 3. Thermocline layer is present in mid-latitude oceanic water during winters. |
| Which of the statements given above are correct? |
A) 1 and 2
B) 2 and 3
C) 1 and 3
D) All of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] In the tropical areas layer of water has three distinct layers according to temperature characteristics and thermocline layer is present in. mid-latitude oceanic water during winters. In the polar region, vertical variation of temperature in the oceanic water is nearly absent. Thermocline are layers of water where the temperature changes rapidly with depth.
