OCEAN LAYERS SURFACE MIXED ZONE – less dense upper ocean, temp and salinity change often

TRANSITION ZONE – fairly constant density, acts as barrier between surface and deep zones

- PYCNOCLINE – rapid density change in water column
- THERMOCLINE – rapid temp change in water column

DEEP ZONE – water remains cold and dense Transition<br>
