The earth's surface is composed of 70 percent water and most of it is oceans in different parts of the world. The ocean is a body of water that is of vital importance to humans as it proves to be relevant in man's livelihood and transportation. Thus, it is essential to know the different characteristics of the ocean such as temperature, salinity, and density. To understand temperature, one should first define heat as it is related to temperature. An object produces heat when molecules of the object become excited and moves rapidly. Heat is a determinant of the quantity of the molecules moving inside an object. In addition, heat also determines how rapid the movement of the molecules inside an object is. On the other hand, temperature is the reaction of an object to any changes in heat (Garisson 156). For example, the molecules of freezing water are stationary, which produces less or no heat at all and molecules of boiling water are very excited and move very rapidly, which produces heat. The measure of the change in the heat between freezing and boiling water is called temperature
