My 4th grade students are reading a selection called Finding the Titanic.   We 
started a discussion, and a few interesting questions were asked.    I didn't 
have an answer for the temp at the ocean floor where the Titanic rests.    I 
know salt water has a lower freezing point, but I don't know the salt 
concentration at various parts of the Atlantic floor.   In addition, I do not 
know how pressure, current, etc. affect temperature.   Help!!!
