What water temperature increases density of ocean water?
When the ocean water freezes, it increases the salinity. When the ocean water freezes at the surface, ice will float on top of water because ice is less dense than liquid water. The dissolved solids are squeezed out of the ice and enter the liquid water below the ice. This increases the salinity of the water. The density of the water also increases.

newtest3 Any object will float better in salt water. It is denser, and pushes the object, (an egg in this case) To the surface of the water. Have you ever tried to float in the swimming pool? In the ocean? Well the ocean is much easier for this reason. Next time you go swimming, try to be the egg!Remember... Oogla knows all!
Is it easier to swim in saltwater?
When salt is dissolved in water, as it is in ocean water, that dissolved salt adds to the mass of the water and makes the water denser than it would be without salt.Because objects float better on a dense surface, they float better on salt water than fresh water. The denser the salt water, the easier it is for objects to float on top of it.
What kind of objects float above water?
