A) Temperature of the ocean water increases with depth as we find increase in temperature with increasing depth within the earth.
B) Temperature differences play a vital role in controlling the movements of the ocean water.
C) Differential thermal conditions of the ocean water influence the general atmospheric conditions and control the planetary wind belts.
D) Ocean water temperature has moderating effect on weather conditions of coastal areas.
