The document discusses temperature and zonation/stratification in oceans. It defines temperature as a measure of an object's ability to transfer heat energy, which can be quantified using scales like Kelvin, Fahrenheit and Celsius. Temperature also refers to the warmth or coldness of a body relative to a standard value. Zonation in oceans creates horizontal areas that retain habitat quality and connectivity for multiple species to support their long-term persistence, while stratification divides oceans into vertical layers.

O A measure of the ability of a substance,
or more generally of any physical system, to
transfer heat energy to another physical
system.
O Any of various standardized numerical
measures of this ability, such as the Kelvin,
Fahrenheit, and Celsius scales.
TEMPERATURE

4. A measure of the warmth or
coldness of an object or substance with
reference to some standard value. The
temperature of two systems is the same
when the systems are in thermal
equilibrium.
The degree of heat in a living body,
normally about 98.6°F (37°C) in
humans.
