Which type of water is denser fresh water or salt water?
Water that contains dissolved salts is more dense than pure water; consequently, seawater is denser or has more mass per unit volume than freshwater. Temperature, however, is one of the most important factors controlling density in the ocean.
Which is denser wood or copper?
Copper is denser than wood.
Why do rocks dirt and water separate into layers?
Rocks are denser than dirt, and dirt is denser than water
Which is denser Oceanic Crust or Continental Crust?
The Oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust
Which way do density currents move?
gravity on masses of seawater that are denser than surrrounding water causeing the denser water to sink .density currents slowly circulate deep ocean water.cool current from the western coast originate far from the equator , warm currents along eastern coast begin near the equator ,differences in temperature an salinity between water masses in the ocean setup circulate called density currents
Seawater is typically denser than freshwater due to seawater's?
Salt
Does salt content of water affect the density of seawater?
the salt makes seawater denser than freshwater. more salt increases the density
Is Seawater is typically denser than freshwater due to seawaters?
Salt
If freshwater and seawater meet at the mouth of a river which one sinks and why?
Seawater is more dense than freshwater. Therefore the seawater would sink lower than the freshwater. Ships do indeed stay higher in seawater because of the higher density or specific gravity of seawater over freshwater
Is seawater denser than plain water?
yes because of the salt
Which type of water is denser fresh water or salt water?
Water that contains dissolved salts is more dense than pure water; consequently, seawater is denser or has more mass per unit volume than freshwater. Temperature, however, is one of the most important factors controlling density in the ocean.
Is gasoline more denser than seawater?
Nope; specific gravity is lower
Why seawater lighter than river water?
sea water is less denser than river water.
What is the freezing point of normal seawater?
No. Seawater is salty, and will freeze at cooler temperatures than freshwater.
Which do you think is denser seawater or fresh water?
Seawater because it contains salt which makes the water more dense than water which does not contain salt.
How is ocean water different from freshwater?
Ocean water has salt in it, Freshwater does not.
Why sea water has a higher hydrometer reading than that of freshwater?
Seawater dissolves more than fresh water because of the salinity in the water.
