In general the density of sea water increases as?
salinity increases and temperature decreases....
The density of sea water increases as?
the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases
How does pressure change the density of sea water?
Pressure increases the density of sea water because it compresses the water molecules closer together, reducing the volume occupied by the same amount of water. As pressure increases with depth in the ocean, the density of sea water also increases. This effect is known as compressibility.
How does the density of sea change with depth?
the density of sea increases with depth
What is the connection between density and salinity?
I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases I think that as the salinity increases, density increses.

How does the density of water change with depth?

Why do ships float higher on sea water than in fresh water?
Because the the sea water contains salt, which increases the density of the water. Therefore, the ships becomes even less dense than the water, making it float higher.
The density of ocean water increases when it?
Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases the density of sea water. Source: Science book.
Why does salt makes an object float?
it increases the density of the water, making objects float easier. ex. the dead sea.
Which is denser river water distilled water tap water or sea water?
Sea water is the densest among river water, distilled water, tap water, and sea water. This is due to the higher concentration of salt and minerals in sea water, which increases its density compared to the others.
Which process increases the salinity of ocean water?
Evaporation: Water evaporating from the surface will increase the salt concentration and hence the density of sea water. Dilution: An inflow of fresh water (rivers, rain) will dilute the salt solution leading to a decrease in density. Temperature: As the temperature of sea water increases it expands. As the volume increases, the density will decrease. Cooling will have the opposite effect. It should be noted that water has its highest density at 4 degrees C after which it starts to decrease. Pressure: Although it is considered that liquids cannot be compressed, some compression is in fact observed in deep oceans. The deeper you go, the higher the density of the sea water. Coriolis effect
What effect does the formation of sea ice in polar regions have on the density of seawater?
When sea ice forms, only the water really freezes. The dissolved salt is left behind in the unfrozen water. This actually makes the unfrozen water more dense because it has a higher concentration of solute, which increases its density
