Final answer:

The answer explores temperature layers, salinity effects, ocean currents, and tides in the context of Earth's oceans.


Explanation:

Temperature Layers of the Ocean:

Surface layer: warms quickly; Thermocline: rapid temperature drop with depth; Deep layer: cold temperatures.

Salinity and its Effects:

Increased salinity raises boiling point, lowers freezing point, and raises density.

Ocean Currents and Tides:

Surface currents: driven by winds; Tides: caused by gravitational forces.
