Is the density of an iceberg and seawater equal?
No, an iceberg is approximately 10% less dense than seawater. This is why it floats
Is not one of the properties of water?
Seawater does not have a density of 5.
What are areas that alternate between complete submersion in seawater and complete exposure to air called?
intertidal zones
What are the three life zones of Marine Biomes?
There are four major zones of the open ocean biomes, which are grouped as such: the intertidal zone, the pelagic zone, the benthic zone and the abyssal zone. The environments found in each vary greatly, and they play host to a diverse population of ocean flora and fauna.
What kind of density current is caused by muddy rapidly flowing mixture of sediment and water?
A turbidity current is a density current that occurs when mud or silt mixes with seawater. This is the result of the increase in the density of the water itself.
What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
In terms of biomass deep ocean habitats are similar to what?
In terms of biomass, deep ocean habitats are similar to Benthic and Abyssal Zones.
Do viper fish live in the dark?
Yes they live in the abyssal zones.
How density current forms?
Density currents - more dense seawater sinking beneath less dense seawater.
What is the most important factor affecting seawater density?
Relative salinity is the most important factor in seawater density.
What are the four ocean zones?
The four ocean zones are Intertidal ,Abyssal,Neritic,and the Oceanic.
What is pelagi zone euphotic zone benthic zone and abyssal zone?
Zones in the ocean.
Does salt content of water affect the density of seawater?
the salt makes seawater denser than freshwater. more salt increases the density
