Best Answer

its according to what other temperature of water you are comparing it to.

water is densest at 4 degrees C

so water that is colder then 4 degrees C is technically less dense then water at 4C.

in that case the warmer water is denser.

but if you mean warm water to be >4C and cold water to be colder then warm water, but not below 4C, then cold water is more dense then warm water.

but the question you are probably trying to get answered would have an answer of cold is denser

Water is more dense the colder it becomes. That means cold water is more dense than hot water. Water reaches its maximum density at a temperature of just under 4 °C. After that, its density increases slightly as it cools and then changes state into a solid (ice). This, by the way, explains why ice floats in water.

Cold water is heavier. The colder it is the denser is gets.

Cold water is more dense than Hot water because the molecules in cold water are closer together than hot water molecules.

Usually, substances are dense when cold and less dense when hot. Water is also not an exception. Water attains its maximum density at 4 degree Celsius (1gm/cc).

How is an ocean current considered to be warm or cold?

Warm or cold defines the temperature of the water. In general warm currents flow north and cold currents flow south. That makes sense. Also warm currents flow on the surface and cold currents flow deep since cold water is denser than warm water.

How does the temperature of the ocean water affect oxygen levels in water?

Cold water is denser than warm water. Cold water sinks the bottom of the ocean taking many of the oxygen molecules with it. In the same sense warm water keeps water molecules spread throughout it self.
