Less dense water floats on top of more dense water. Given two layers of water with the same salinity, the warmer water will float on top of the colder water. There is one catch though! Temperature has a greater effect on the density of water than salinity does.

What can affect ocean waters density?
The temperature of the water and the salt content of the water.
What two thing affect the density of ocean water?
Temperature & salinity.
How does the temperature affect the formation of deep currents?
Deep currents form where the density of ocean water increase so, water density depends on temperature and salinity. I hope I helped you =)
Two things that can affect the temperature of ocean water?
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
What information is used to calculate the density of ocean water?
Density is calculated from the temperature and salinity of the water.
What two things affects the density of the water?
The temperature and the salinity affect water's density.
Salinity and can be used to find the density of ocean water?
water temperature
What is the density of the ocean water depend on?
Mostly salinity and temperature
Describe the density and temperature characteristics of water in equatorial regions?
I think the density is more fresh water in the ocean
How does temperature affect water?
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 2 things affect the density of water?
the temperature and the salinity
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceanographers can determine the .?
density
