How much seawater salt is incorporated in sea ice?
Most of it is initially incorporated, but the brine will gradually drain out as the ice ages.
What are two natural processes that increases the salinity of seawater?
Evaporation and the formation of sea ice.
When seawater freezes what does the salt do.?
Initially some of it gets caught within the ice, but it drains out over time.
What are ice and steam forms of?
They are both forms of water.
Are ice glaciers in salt water?
Icebergs that break off into the ocean from glaciers do not contain salt, as they are formed by freshwater on land (snow, ice). Icebergs that form in the ocean mostly do not contain salt either. This is because as the seawater freezes, it forms a crystal structure (ice) that prevents salt ions from being included.
What is the seawater ice that forms a wide belt around Antarctica in the winter?
The name for the seawater ice, that essentially doubles the size of the continent, is called sea ice.
What kind of current forms when more dense seawater moves towards less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves towards less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of current forms when denser seawater sinks under less seawater?
riptide
What forms when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
Density current
How does the salinity of sea ice compare to the salinity of normal seawater?
Ice has zero salinity. When it is frozen, the salt is pushed out. Therefore, since the salinity of normal seawater is about 35 ppt, it has 35 ppt more salinity than seawater.
What kind of current froms when more dense seawater move toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
How density current forms?
Density currents - more dense seawater sinking beneath less dense seawater.
Salinity cannot be measured accurately by?
Allowing seawater to evaporate and weighing the the remaining salts.
What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
hydrogenous sediment
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
