The two characteristics that affect ocean water's temperature are **location and depth**.
- **Location**: Different areas of the ocean, such as near the equator or poles, have varying temperatures due to sunlight intensity and climate conditions.
- **Depth**: As you go deeper into the ocean, water temperature generally decreases due to the less direct sunlight penetration.
These factors significantly influence the thermal structure of ocean water.
