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").
