Two things that can affect the temperature of ocean water?
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
When heated water changes temperature very slowly but gold changes temperature very quickly this is because water has a higher?
Heat capacity, it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water 1o than it does gold 1o. That's why if you apply the same amount of heat to gold and water the gold will heat up faster (i.e., change temperature quicker).
How do volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges affect the temperature of sea water?
as mid-ocean ridge forms it causes the land to pen and the lava flows our. the lava in the sea/ocean changes the temp. of sea water as it is hot.
What are deep ocean currents caused by?
global winds and differences in temperature and salinity.
Why do sharks smell blood faster in the warm tropical seas then the cold seas?
this happens because the heat of the human blood temperature will be attracted easier in warm water. But if they smell blood faster won't they swin faster in warmer water? No because cold water is much more of an ocean temperature water so sharks swim faster in cold water.
Why does land warm and cool more quickly than water and how does it affect your air temperature?
Diffusion of heat from land is quicker than water. thus temperature of air on land flactutes faster than in the ocean.
Why does ocean stay same temperature?
Liquid water of any sort has a huge heat capacity relative to air; that is, it must absorb a great deal of heat to show a slight increase in temperature. As a result, changes in air temperature are very slow to impact the temperature of large bodies of water such as an ocean, or even a large lake.
Why does a ice cube melt faster in fresh water than salt water?
It's because THE TEMPERATURE of the water. The higher temperature the faster melts.
Why is the surface temperature of the oceans more variable than the water near the ocean floor?
In order for temperature to change the involved heat has to have some place to go. The water at the bottom of the ocean is surrounded by ground and other water that are already at the same temperature. Where can extra heat go to? At the surface the air transports heat up and away so ocean heat can leak out (or in) to the water.
A temperature of 32k is the temperature at which water?
everyone knows that water comes from the ocean
How does the ocean affect coastal climate?
the specific heat keeps the ocean temperatures more even
Why does ice water cool faster than refrigerator water?
it doesnt, water has the same specific heat no matter what temperature it is at...about 4.18. Specific heat is a characteristic value of materials to resist changes in temperature (heat flow). Please rephrase the question if this is not the answer you are after
