what ?

Answer 1

Hi there!

The two waters are separated by the thermocline, where small changes in depth have large changes in temperature. Also, the warmer water is, the less dense it is because it vibrates in a bigger space. That's right, temperature is actually how much something is vibrating on the atomic level!

Hope this helps!
