Since water consists of h2o molecules, the deeper molecules are going to have more pressure on them, that might have something to do with the variation of temperature also. I think the molecules on the top would have more space to move around, which doesn't help them entrap any sort of heat.. compared to the water molecules on the bottom which are being pressured upon from all sides and cant move as freely as the top ones

That's the only explanation that i would think of.. maybe there's a bit more to it than i understand right now
BTW, you should maybe go back to class..this makes no sense.
