Seawater's density varies by temperature and salinity. I.e., cold water is more dense than warm water, and water with a higher salinity (more dissolved salt) is less dense than water with a lower salinity.

What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
What is the most important factor affecting seawater density?
Relative salinity is the most important factor in seawater density.
Which of the following factors most influence the temperature of seawater?
depth and density
What does the density of water do As the temperature of seawater decreases?
It increases - until within 4 degrees of freezing, where it decreases.
Is the density of the salinity of seawater lower or higher?
Generally the Oceans are more saline in the tropics, that is to say the sea is less salty towards the polar regions.
What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
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.
Does salt content of water affect the density of seawater?
the salt makes seawater denser than freshwater. more salt increases the density
What causes the density current in the mediterranean?
the answer to this question is a density current forms when more dense seawater sinks beneath less dense seawater
What causes the density in the mediterranean sea?
the answer to this question is a density current forms when more dense seawater sinks beneath less dense seawater
What cause the density currents in the Mediterranean sea?

What forms when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
Density current
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
How is mass and volume determined in density?
Mass and volume are not determined by density. Rather density is determined by mass and volume
Is the density of an iceberg and seawater equal?
No, an iceberg is approximately 10% less dense than seawater. This is why it floats
Movement that occurs when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
density current
