Thermoclines can also be observed in lakes. In colder climates, this leads to a phenomenon called stratification . During the summer, warm water, which is less dense, will sit on top of colder, denser, deeper water with a thermocline separating them.
Lake stratification is the tendency of lakes to form separate and distinct thermal layers during warm weather. Typically stratified lakes show three distinct layers: the epilimnion, comprising the top warm layer; the thermocline (or metalimnion), the middle layer, whose depth may change throughout the day; and the colder hypolimnion, extending to the floor of the lake.
