What happens to deep ocean water as it becomes colder?
It gets colder because the Sunlight heats the ocean and the deeper you go, the less penetrating the Sunlight is, therefore making the ocean water colder.
Why is ocean water colder the deeper the ocean goes?
lack of sunlight
The density of the ocean water increases when it?
gets colder
How does depth affect ocean temperature?
the deeper you go, the colder the ocean water gets
The density of ocean water increases when it?
Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases the density of sea water. Source: Science book.
Why does ocean water get colder than fresh water before freezing?
This is because of the salt in the water
Colder air moving over significantly warmer ocean surface water may produce?
Fog may form as much colder air moves over warmer ocean surface water. As the ocean evaporates into the colder air, it saturates the air producing fog that looks like streamers rising off the water.
What is the boundary between the warmer surface water and colder ocean water called?
Thermal Layer
When the density of ocean water increase?
Gets colder.
What does ice do in a glass of water?
First it floats, then it melts and makes the water colder.
How does warm water at the ocean surface become colder?
circulates from the bottom to the top
In ocean currents how are temperature and density related?
In ocean currents, temperature and density are directly related. Colder water is denser than warmer water, so in regions where the water is colder, it tends to sink and flow towards areas where the water is warmer. This movement of cold, denser water and warm, less dense water helps to drive the circulation of ocean currents.
