What is the density in seawater determined by?
Seawater's density varies by temperature and salinity. I.e., cold water is more dense than warm water, and water with a higher salinity (more dissolved salt) is less dense than water with a lower salinity.
Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.
Which of the following causes the density of seawater to increase?
Seawater denssity will increase as salinity increases. A less significant increase can result from temperature variations (colder is denser until freezing starts). Even smaller changes would occur with depth as the seawater is slightly compressible. As density is measured as mass/unit volume local gravity does not enter into the process.
Why are rapidly dropping temperatures are accompanied by rising barometer?
As air becomes cooler, it becomes more dense. As the air become more dense (heavy), it causes the barometer to rise.
Is the troposphere more dense in the summer or winter?
it is more dense in winter
What causes the density current in the mediterranean?
the answer to this question is a density current forms when more dense seawater sinks beneath less dense seawater
What causes the density in the mediterranean sea?
the answer to this question is a density current forms when more dense seawater sinks beneath less dense seawater
What kind of current froms when more dense seawater move toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves towards less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
Why is easier for things to float in seawater?
I would be thinking the salt is the reason. The salt makes the water more dense, so things that were more dense as compared to the water before become less dense as compared to seawater. So yeah, that's why things are more buoyant in seawater.
What causes density currents to form in the Mediterranean Sea?
the answer to this question is a density current forms when more dense seawater sinks beneath less dense seawater
What forms when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
Density current
Movement that occurs when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
density current
How density current forms?
Density currents - more dense seawater sinking beneath less dense seawater.
What is more dense sea water or air?
Seawater is more dense than air. That is why the air rests on top of the seawater and not the other way around.
What causes air to become more dense?
the lower the temperature gets the more dense the air becomes.
