The first term to describe this phenomenon is 18° water , which was used by Valentine Worthington [ 2 ] to describe the isothermal layer in the northern Sargasso Sea ...
Contrary to the allegorical story about the boiling frog, frogs die immediately when cast into boiling water, rather than leaping out; furthermore, frogs will attempt to escape cold water that is slowly heated past their critical thermal maximum.
