Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Surface waters are warmed by the Sun, so they generally have higher temperatures than deeper waters. As a result, tropical lower-latitude surface waters are warmer than high-latitude surface waters. As you go deeper in the water column, temperatures approach freezing, so there is a thermocline in low-latitude waters, while high-latitude surface water is only marginally warmer than the water at depth, so there is no thermocline.
