Answer:

See description

Step-by-step explanation:

Because temperature tends to be the dominant factor influencing seawater density, the depth range and base of both the pycnocline and thermocline often tend to be similar. Therefore, below the pycnocline or thermocline, temperature and salinity are relatively constant.
