Is the density of gas similar to that of a liquid?
No, a pure liquid at normal temperature has a constant density while the density of a gas depends upon temperature and pressure.
Which current is caused by temperature differences in the water?
Density Current
What are the differences between the sun and the Earth?
Differences include mass; temperature; energy production; density; composition (percentage of elements).
What are the properties of mass?
Density Specific Volume Pressure Temperature Viscoisy Gas Constant Heat Specific
If the temperature of a gas in a movable piston is decreased what will happen to the density of the gas?
It will increase. Density is mass/volume. Mass remains constant since no matter is entering or escaping. Lowering the temperature decreases the volume. Same mass in a smaller space= increased density.
The Earth's tectonic plates are in constant motion due to several factors. Temperature and density differences in the plates cause push and pull forces that move the plates.?
mantle convection
Currents are caused by temperature and density differences?

Which current is caused by temperature differences in the water?
Density Current
What are currents that are caused by differences in water density most often the result of?
differences in temperature and salinity.
What is true of upwelling?
It is driven by temperature differences causing differences in density. It requires a gravity field.
What are deep ocean currents caused by?
global winds and differences in temperature and salinity.
What is the formula of density of air at particular Temp?
from the equation of state pressure = density * gas constant * temperature
What forms because of differences in temperature and density of a fluid?
convection currents
The volume of a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure is?
directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature
