The middle (4/10)

The middle layer is the transition zone of water between the epilimnion and the bottom cold hypolimnion, called the metalimnion. This layer is a place where the shallowest of cool water gradually warm up until the mix into the epilimnion. 

Throughout the summer, wind, and waves cause the water to mix. 

The greatest temperature difference is called the thermocline and occures within the metalimnion.
