You need to answer this question. It is asking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson. It is an essay question and we don’t do students essays.

What separates layers of different density?
thermoclinepycnocline : zone of rapid change in density due to changes in temperature and salinity
What determines the different aquatic biomes?
salinity of the water
A thermohaline current is a current which is affected by?
Temperature and salinity
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceanographers can determine the?
density
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
What two characteristics of water combine to form a thermohaline?
temperature and salinity
How does salinity change the properties of water?
Salinity causes the water to forget it's properties and relatives.
What factors can affect the characteristic properties of a sponge?
The same factors that can affect the characteristic properties of any marine organism. The most obvious ones are moisture, temperature, salinity, etc.
What is the teperature of salt water?
Saltwater does not have one definite salinity - for instance the salinity of the water in the Dead Sea is different to that of the Atlantic. Indeed the salinity of the sea itself can vary.
What two properties determine the density of sea water?
Temperature and Salinity. Both are important although temperature has a much greater effect than salinity on seawater density.
What are the calligative properties of seawater?
Salinity, temperature, turbidity, pH, buffering capacity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient levels.
What factors affect density currents?
Temperature, salinity and total saturation of other minerals, depth.
What affects density more temperature or salinity?
Density is affected by both temperature and salinity. The colder the temperature and the saltier the substance, the greater the density.
Describe some of the general patterns you observe for temperature and salinity?
Desceibe some of the general patterns you observe for temperature and salinity
How does water temperature affect water salinity?
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
What separates layers of different density?
thermoclinepycnocline : zone of rapid change in density due to changes in temperature and salinity
What are the variables that causes water to stratify and why?
Water stratification is when water masses with different properties - salinity (halocline), oxygenation (chemocline), density (pycnocline), temperature (thermocline) - form layers that act as barriers to water mixing which could lead to anoxia or euxinia.
