How do temperature and salinity relate to deep-current movement?
The density of the water increases with the salinity, so saline water is denser and sinks to the bottom. Temperature is also a factor, however. Cold, saline water is the densest
In addition to salinity what factor affects the density in sea water?
Density of seawater is largely a function of two factors: depth, that is, the deeper water is more dense than water at shallower levels; and temperature - water at higher temperatures is less dense than cooler water. Salinity is also a factor, but that's a localized phenomena simply because all the worlds oceans are in fact one large ocean and maintains an average overall salinity.
What kind of body temperature do all vertebrates have?
They have different kinds of temperature. Mammals and birds are what used to be called 'warm blooded', that is they maintain a constant, high internal body temperature largely as a result of respiration. Reptiles, amphibians and fish are ectothermic, (cold blooded), that is they have the same temperature as their surroundings. However there are many individual variations even within the groups.
What makes stars colors different?
A star's color is determined by its surface temperature. This temperature is largely dependent on the star's initial mass.
How long will it take an orange to rot in the dark?
That still depends largely upon the temperature, humidity, and other factors.
What is the place that is largely dependent on the temperature of air?
Paagal
What does entothermic mean?
Of or relating to an organism that regulates its body temperature largely by exchanging heat with its surroundings; cold-blooded.
What is a ecotherm?
It's an organism that regulates it's body temperature largely with exchanging heat with it's sorroundings Hope this helps =]
Dialects in Ireland?
English is the main language spoken in Ireland. The official language of Ireland is Irish. It is spoken mainly in the western part or Ireland. There would be some variations in these parts, but they are largely the same.
What does greenbacks mean in history?
The Greenback movement, (around 1868-88, U.S. history) was a campaign, largely by persons with agrarian interests, to maintain or increase the amount of paper money in circulation.
What type of seawater has the greatest density?
The sample of sea water with the most salt and the coldest temperature will have the greatest density.The more salt a sample has in it, the more dense it will be. Also, colder samples will be more dense than warmer samples. By thinking this through, it will be possible to see that this is true. Note that these ideas apply to standard pressure. It is possible to increase the density of sea water by increasing the pressure on it, but not by very much as it is largely incompressible.
Which weather tool measures air temperature?
The temperature of the air in the shade. The temperature of the air is a measure of the degree of molecular movement of all the Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules that largely make up air.
