Epilimnion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The epilimnion is the upper layer of a body of water that is warmer and less dense than the water below it. It is typically well-mixed by wind and currents, and supports most of the aquatic life in the lake.<\/p>\n<p>The hypolimnion is the lower layer of a body of water that is colder and denser than the water above it. It is typically not well-mixed, and does not support much aquatic life.<\/p>\n<p>The thermocline is a layer of water in a lake or ocean where the temperature changes rapidly with depth. It is typically located between the epilimnion and hypolimnion.<\/p>\n<p>The hydroline is the boundary between the water column and the atmosphere. It is located at the surface of the water.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a diagram that illustrates the different layers of a lake:<\/p>\n<p>The epilimnion is the warm, well-mixed layer of water at the top of the lake.
