What's it like being a female Marine?

Whats the temperature in a Marine biome?

  • Answer:

    In tropics the temperature varies from 296 K to 300 K, at the surface of water. It becomes less till it goes down, 273 K (= 0ºC) to 271.2 K (= -1.8ºC) beyond the Polar (Antarctic & Arctic) Circles, 66º.55 N & 66º.55 S & below a protective layer of metres thick continuum of ice floes. As one goes deep the profile gradually reduces (after reducing fast near the surface) to 280 K (= 7ºC) till 1000m depth, then turns steeper at a trend line of 277 K (= 4ºC) till the bottom. Amongst all known substances, water has the most Heat Capacity (called Specific Heat given in Calories of heat to raise the temperature through 1 K(=1ºC) of 1gram of substance; 1Calorie set for water). It makes water cooler, the most effective coolant & a reason for a mind-boggling diversity of Life in the Marine Biome, since the Life-forms can choose their temperature-pressure profiles. Occupying 50.95 million km² or 71% of Earths surface, spread out on all Latitudes in both N & S Hemispheres, Diversity of Ocean Biomes is vast (beyond the scope of this answer but available in Oceanography texts like the one written "King").

In the marine biome temperatures vary tremendously, more than any other biome. In the deepest ocean and in Arctic and Antarctic waters, ocean temps can approach freezing, so that is 1 or 2°C. Next to outpouring lava from undersea volcanoes and near superheated air vents, the ocean temp can be around 400°C.
