The ocean has a generally cold climate, and the deeper you get the colder it is. In some seasons
             right next to the shoreline the ocean can be warm, but it rarely happens. The ocean is divided into
             sections according to depth. The further down the section is the colder the water is. The lowest section,
             or the abyssal zone is known to get to temperatures around 3 degrees Celsius. The climate is the way it
             is because of the amount of light in the area. For example, in the abyssal zone there is the least amount
             of light, so therefore it is the coldest section. The next up, the benthic zone has the most drastic climate
             change within it. It has some of the same temperatures as the abyssal zone, but also has warmer spots
             near the top. The pelagic zone, which is the second to the top zone, is generally cold though it is hard to
             give a general temperature range since, just like a pond or a lake, there is a thermal stratification with a
             constant mixing of warm and cold ocean currents. The top and last section is the intertidal zone. The
             intertidal zone is the warmest of all the sections of the ocean, because it is the closest to the sun. It's
             temperature varies day to day because of the constant weather change.
             People greatly effect our oceans, in ways you may not know of. Boaters, fishing or just riding
             around, kill animals with there boats. Animals such as sharks and other fish. When anchors are
             suddenly dropped into the sea fragile ecosystems are damaged. People go whale hunting to make
             money. They kill hundreds of whales each year, and while fishing for things like tuna fisherman
             sometimes get other things caught in there net like dolphins. Others pollute our oceans by throwing cans
             and other garbage into the sea. Sometimes an oil carrier will spill oil into the ocean which kills hundreds
             of animals. Divers who touch reefs, even slightly, can harm them. There are all kinds of programs th...
