What are the three factors that from deep currents?
The three factors that help form deep currents are ...density,salinity,and tempature.
What is the average density of seawater?
The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1.020 to 1.029 g·cm-3, depending on the temperature and salinityThe average density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1.025 g/ml; seawater is denser than freshwater (which reaches a maximum density of 1.000 g/ml at a temperature of 4°C) because of the added mass of the salts.
The greenhouse effect causes an increase in?
temperature
What is a natural phenomenon that maintains earths temperature range?
The greenhouse effect
Which of these have an effect on air pressure?
temperature humidity and elevation
What two things effect the density of water?
Temperature and Salinity.
What 3 factors affect the density of sea water?
Temperature, pressure, and common ion effect
What are the two causes for thermohaline currents?
Wind has the largest effect on surface water, although a much smaller effect once you get a few feet below the surface. The tides also affect oceanic movement to some degree. However, the main causes of thermohaline currents are the fluctuations in water density controlled by salinity and changing heat.hint for your questions use chacha.com
How does temperature and salinity effect the stability of water?
The chemical stability of water is not affected by the salinity; also water decompose at very high temperatures.
What is the effect of temperature salinity on the density of water?
The effect of temperature is that the warm water is denser than colder water, since the molecules are spread out so the warm water sinks to the bottom. The affect of salinity is that since the water is salanatized it sinks to the bottom while the fresh water floats (due to the amount of salinity).
Which part of the water column is the saltiest?
Surface water has the highest salinity, however it is also the warmest, and because temperature has more effect on the density than the salinity, it rises to the top.
What has the author Charles L McKenney written?
Charles L. McKenney has written: 'Resistance patterns to salinity and temperature in an estuarine mysid (Mysidopsis bahia) in relation to its life cycle' -- subject(s): Mysidae, Effect of temperature on, Salinity
Name two factors that can effect the salinity levels of ocean water?
Biomass and temperature, erosion and mineral content.
How does the calinity of water effect temperature and water currents?
Salinity, or saltiness, affects how readily the water changes temperatures as well as its density. Because of this, currents in the water can arise not only from the difference in temperature, but also from the density difference, which comes from the salinity itself.
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 relationship does ocean circulation patterns and marine foodchain have?
they both have a relationship with each other and it is they both have a pattern and the effect when a el nino hit the ocean circulation patterns is when theres diffrent patterns and it will also have a totally diffrent circulation and the marine food chain will be diffrent increase in turbidity a decrease in salinity and
How do light and temperature effect life?
They effect ocean life. Temperature effects salinity, oxygen and new generation, body temperature of animals (2 degrees can stress some fishes to death) P.H. value effects lifes of plants and animals, under currents of the oceans
