What can cause an increase in density of ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What can cause the increase in the density of ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What cause the formation of the two types of ocean currents?
Temperature, density, and salinity of water
Can cause an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What cause surface ocean water to have a higher salt content?
The salinity of ocean water depends on its location, rate of evaporation, amount of precipitation and amount of freshwater added to the ocean.
Why does salinity vary in different parts of the world ocean?
salinity of ocean water depends upon many causes,but the main cause is continuous movement of ocean water from one place to other due to rotation of earth nd winds which takes water here nd there causing change in salinity of ocean water
What condition would cause the salinity of ocean water decrease?
A river flowing into the sea is causing the decrease in salinity
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
Which condition of ocean water varies with the location and seasons?
salinity
How do temperature and salinity relate to deep-current movement?
The density of the water increases with the salinity, so saline water is denser and sinks to the bottom. Temperature is also a factor, however. Cold, saline water is the densest
The average salinity of the world ocean?
Salinity of the ocean water is defined as the dissolved salt content in a body of water. The salinity of the ocean is 3.5%, the salinity increases as you approach the equator and decreases as you approach the poles.
