Why is ocean water more dense than regular fresh water?

Ocean water is more dense than regular fresh water because it contains higher concentrations of dissolved salts and minerals. These dissolved compounds make the water heavier, increasing its density. Additionally, temperature and pressure differences between ocean water and fresh water can also contribute to variations in density.

Ocean water is more dense than fresh water at the same temperature because it contains dissolved salts and minerals which increase its mass without significantly affecting its volume. This higher density allows ocean water to exert greater pressure at depth and affects ocean circulation patterns.


Why does a ship entering from fresh water to sea water sinks more?

You have it backwards. A ship floats higher in seawater than freshwater. This is because the dissolved salt makes seawater denser. due to the lack of salt content in fresh water. the salinity of ocean water makes it more dense, allowing the boat to sit higher in the water.
