  2. Thermocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline

    As the temperature continues to drop, the water on the surface may get cold enough to freeze and the lake/ocean begins to ice over. A new thermocline develops where the densest water (4 °C (39 °F)) sinks to the bottom, and the less dense water (water that is approaching the freezing point) rises to the top.

    Harvesting of cork from the forests of Algeria, 1930. Cork is a natural material used by humans for over 5,000 years. It is a material whose applications have been known since antiquity, especially in floating devices and as stopper for beverages, mainly wine, whose market, from the early twentieth century, had a massive expansion, particularly due to the development of several cork-based ...

  4. Stratification (water) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratification_(water)

    The thermal stratification of lakes is a vertical isolation of parts of the water body from mixing caused by variation in the temperature at different depths in the lake, and is due to the density of water varying with temperature. [14] Cold water is denser than warm water of the same salinity, and the epilimnion generally consists of water ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidenfrost_effect

    Initially, as the temperature of the pan is just below 100 °C (212 °F), the water flattens out and slowly evaporates, or if the temperature of the pan is well below 100 °C (212 °F), the water stays liquid. As the temperature of the pan rises above 100 °C (212 °F), the water droplets hiss when touching the pan, and these droplets evaporate ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_physics

    The range of temperatures that can give rise to icing conditions is defined according to cloud types and altitude levels: Low-level stratocumulus and stratus can cause icing at a temperature range of 0 to -10 °C. For mid-level altocumulus and altostratus, the range is 0 to -20 °C.
