∙ 12y agorain, snow, and melting ice add fresh water to the ocean, lowering the salinity there. Salinity is also lower near the mouths of large rivers. These rivers empty great amounts of fresh water into the ocean.

Can cause an increase in the density of the ocean water?

Which condition of ocean water varies with the location and seasons?
salinity
What cause surface ocean water to have a higher salt content?
The salinity of ocean water depends on its location, rate of evaporation, amount of precipitation and amount of freshwater added to the ocean.
What can an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What would happen if the rate of evaporation over the ocean were to decrease?
The salinity would probably decrease because the ocean is made up of salt water.
Is salinity high on open ocean?
In open ocean evaporation affects the salinity of the oceans, in closed oceans the lack of sunrays cause greater salinity levels.
What can causes an increase in the density of the ocean water?

What is the only fresh water part of an ocean?
Icebergs are the only freshwater part of an ocean. When icebergs melt, it results in a decrease in the salinity of ocean water.
What is the primary cause of surface ocean currents?
Wind
What cause the formation of the two types of ocean currents?
Temperature, density, and salinity of water
