Oceanic fronts are boundaries between water masses of different density. Density is a function of temperature and salinity(the amount of dissolved salts in water) ;therefore, both thermal(temperature) fronts and haline(salinity) fronts exist in the ocean. A thermal front is a zone with a pronounced horizontal temperature gradient, while a haline front exhibits a horizontal salinity gradient. 2, record 2, English, - horizontal%20temperature%20gradient
