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.
The density of ocean water increases when it?
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. Source: Science book.
What causes differences in density of ocean water?

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
What can causes an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What causes the formation of the two types of ocean currents?
Temperature, density, and salinity of water
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
