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.

The density of the ocean water increases when it?
gets colder
Why does a pool of water have the same density as a cup of water?
density is mass over volume. if the mass increases then the volume increases proportionately.
Does water particles fall to the earths surface after their temperature increases?
No when there density increases
Why is density of water more in deep water?
The density of water increases with depth due to the increase in pressure. As water molecules are packed closer together under high pressure, the density of water increases. Therefore, in deep water where the pressure is higher, the density of water is also higher.
What information is used to calculate the density of ocean water?
Density is calculated from the temperature and salinity of the water.
The density of the ocean water increases when it?
gets colder
What water temperature increases density of ocean water?
When the ocean water freezes, it increases the salinity. When the ocean water freezes at the surface, ice will float on top of water because ice is less dense than liquid water. The dissolved solids are squeezed out of the ice and enter the liquid water below the ice. This increases the salinity of the water. The density of the water also increases.
In general he density of sea water increases as?
depth and salinity increases density of sea water increases
The density of sea water increases as?
the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases
As water gets denser how does it moves?
Water increases in density until 4 degrees Celcius, when its density starts to decrease again due to hydrogen bonding. (see Wikipedia.org for more.) As water moves away from the equator, it gives off heat. As it cools, its density increases.
When the density of ocean water increase?
Gets colder.
How have oceans on venus and mars affected the density of their atmospheres?
It's due to the chemical reaction of the co2 on the ocean water, since there is no salt the density increases
What forms where the density of the ocean increases?
oceans stuff
What happens if the density increases?
Density is a characteristic of a given material. Water, for example, has a certain density (which is somewhat dependent upon temperature but let's say that the temperature is constant). It does not matter how much water you have, it will all have the same density. One teaspoon has much less mass, but the same density as an entire ocean.
Which two factors influence seawater density?
-As temperature increases, density increases (due to thermal expansion) -As salinity increases, density increases (due to the addition of more dissolved material) -As pressure increases, density increases (due to the compressive effects of pressure) of these 3 factors, only temperature and salinity influence the density of surface water. Pressure influences seawater density only when very high pressures are encountered, such as in deep ocean trenches.'' (Thurman H., et al, 2002)
How does dissolving salt in water change the density of the water?
The density increases as the mass of the solution increases but its volume remains the same.
What is the average density of seawater?
The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1.020 to 1.029 g·cm-3, depending on the temperature and salinityThe average density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1.025 g/ml; seawater is denser than freshwater (which reaches a maximum density of 1.000 g/ml at a temperature of 4°C) because of the added mass of the salts.
