Why density of ocean water is greater than the density of tap water?

What two things determine density?
water
How could you determine if an object has greater density than water?
It will sink when you put it in water. If it floats it has less density then water.
Which two tools would help you determine the density of a block?
Something to determine volume (like a bucket of water or a ruler), and a balance to determine mass. Divide the mass of the block by its volume to find the density of the block.
What factors can effect the density of water?
I assume you mean "affect". Water density can be affected by impurities. Assuming the water is pure, it can be affected by temperature, pressure, and isotopic composition.
What two factors determine the density of water in deep currents?

List the factors which determine the rate at which sediments are deposited in quiet water?
Size, shape, density, density of the water, and the velocity of the water
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceanographers can determine the .?
density
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceanographers can determine the?
density
What are the two factors that determine the density of water?
The answer to determine density is dividing mass by the volume. To find volume measure the area. Density = mass / volume same formula is used to determine the density of water mass as well. after calculations we come to know that density of water is 1000 kgm-3. kgm-3 ( kilogram mass raise to the power minus 3 ) is the unit of density . Density of water is a constant quantity.
Which three factors are most important in determining the composition of ocean water?
temperature,salinity,and density
What are two factors that determine the density of a water mass?
The answer to determine density is dividing mass by the volume. To find volume measure the area. Density = mass / volume same formula is used to determine the density of water mass as well. after calculations we come to know that density of water is 1000 kgm-3. kgm-3 ( kilogram mass raise to the power minus 3 ) is the unit of density . Density of water is a constant quantity.
What are two factors that can cause ocean water to sink?
the density of the water, temperature (warm temps) and salinity (amount of salt in the water) could make ocean water sink (-:
What factors include the direction of ocean currents?
The factors that can modify the currents are direction and shape of coastlines, bottom reliefs of the ocean basins, seasonal variations and rotation of the earth. Ocean circulation is driven by winds and by differences in water density
How would water density compare to ocean water?
The water would have the same density anywhere it is.
Why sea is of different color?
There are many factors which determines the color of the sea/ocean, The reflectivity of the water has an important role in the color of ocean.The color of ocean is generaly blue because the water reflects the image of the sky which is in blue color. But there are other factors also there which determine ocean color,The depth of the ocean,presence of colored algae and fine suspende solid particles. Near to the shore the nutrient suply from the land will be high and because of that the density of algaes and phytoplankton will be more which gives a different color to the water near to the sea shore.
