Seawater layers | Seawater arranges itself into layers determined by water temperature and density | Warmer water floats on top of and is lighter than cooler water, which is denser. In most places, heat from the surface moves very slowly through these layers down into the deep ocean | Extremely windy areas of ocean can agitate the layers enough to result in vertical mixing
