What is more dense cold water or warm?
cold ocean water is more dense than warm water
Is water from a glacier more dense than ocean water?
The water from a melted glacier is less dense than the water of the seas.
Why does warm air meeting moist air result in low pressure?
The warm air is moist due to water evaporating from the land/ocean. It is low pressure because warm air is less dense, and rises, creating an area of low pressure.
Why does ocean crust far from a mid-ocean ridge subside?
It becomes more dense as it cools, until its density is greater than the asthenosphere below it.
What type of plate boundary to volcanoes not occur?
Ocean to ocean convergent plate boundaries do not have a chain of composite cone volcanoes. The ocean plate that is more dense will sink beneath the other ocean plate.
What are two factors that determine ocean water density?
There are two main factors that make ocean water more or less dense the temperature of the water and the salinityof the water.
Where is the ocean most dense?
The ocean is most dense towards the bottom of the sea. As the water in the ocean gets colder it gets more dense.
What is the moust dense place in the ocean?
the most dense part5 of the ocean is my ballbag
Where would ocean waters be least dense?
At the surface of the ocean in the warmest area of the ocean.
What is the coldest and most dense current in Atlantic ocean?
the atlantic ocean
Is cold ocean water more dense than water water?
more dense
What are the Application of density in our daily life?
In an oil spill in the ocean, the oil rises to the top because it is less dense than water, creating an oil slick on the surface of the ocean. A Styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup, so the Styrofoam cup will float in water and the ceramic cup will sink.
Of the 3 zones of the ocean in which would the water be most dense?
open ocean zone
An increase in ocean salinity can increase what creating a current?
An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.
Why are el nino waters less dense than those of the surrounding ocean?
El Nino waters are less dense because the waters are warmer and warm water is less dense than cool water. Also, it constantly rains over the ocean during the El Nino, and rain water is less dense than ocean water.
How is ocean stratified by density?
The ocean is stratified with denser layers below less dense layers.
Caused when dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater?
I think that it causes a deep ocean current.....
