List three factors that affect salinity in the ocean and three factors that affect ocean temperatures. Explain how each factor affects salinity or temperatures?
Three factors are evaporation and freezing of sea water.
What affects the salinity of ocean water?
evaporation
Describe the ocean and explain how the water cycle affects the salinity of the ocean?
Hhj
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 factor affects the density of sea water?
Temperature, salinity, and pressure.
What factor affects the density of seawater in addition to salinity?
Temperature is another significant factor that affects the density of seawater. As temperature decreases, seawater becomes denser and sinks, while warmer seawater is less dense and rises. The interactions between salinity and temperature play a crucial role in driving ocean currents and circulation patterns.
What is a factor that affects aquatic life in the ocean?
Fishing is a factor that affects aquatic life in the ocean. So is water pollution.
Which process increases the salinity of the ocean?
There are different kinds of process that deeply affects the salinity of ocean water. Continental deflections, Coriolis Effect, convection current and also evaporation.
Describe the oceans and explain how the water cycle affects the salinity of the ocean?
Oceans are big water bodies. Salinity is due to the presence of minerals in water.
What is ocean water salinity?
Salinity is defined as the total amount of solid material in grams contained in 1km of sea water and is expressed as part per thousand. Salinity affects physical property of ocean such as temperature, pressure, density, waves and currents.
What is one factor that decreases salinity in seawater?
Salinity in oceans decrease when near a river because the river adds fresh water, which lowers the percentage of salt in the water, causing the salinity to decrease.
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.
