What two factors are most significant in creating a dense mass of ocean water?
The two most significant factors in creating a dense mass of ocean water are low temperature and high salinity. Cold water is denser than warm water, while high salinity increases the water's density by adding more dissolved salts.
What is the most negatively charged ion dissolved in seawater?
The most negatively charged ion dissolved in seawater is chloride. In fact, Cl- makes up 55 percent of the seawater's salinity.
What type of tides do most of the worlds oceans experince?
Most of the world's oceans experience semidiurnal tides, which means there are two high tides and two low tides of almost equal height each day.
Does most water evaporate into oceans or puddles?
Most water is evaporated from oceans.
What makes the Dead Sea paradoxical?
The Dead Sea is paradoxical because it has very high salinity levels, making it one of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth. Its high salinity prevents most life forms from thriving in it, hence the name "Dead" Sea. Despite the high salt content, people can float effortlessly on the water due to its density.
What oceans have salt in them?
AnswerAll oceans have salt in them. The average salinity of all oceans is 35 parts per thousand. Salinity does vary according to depth and location. Areas of the ocean located near onshore river runoff typically have a lower salinity. Areas near the tropics with high evaporation rates tend to have higher salinity.
The average ocean salinity is less than 4 percent?
The average ocean salinity is around 3.5%. It is typically measured in parts per thousand (ppt) or in PSU (practical salinity units), with most oceans having a salinity close to this average value.
Where does most of the air evaporates from oceans?
Evaporation is increased in warm climates. Water is evaporated in the air, not the air.
Is the Indian ocean the biggest ocean on the earth?
No, the Atlantic ocean is the saltiest of the oceans.
What effects do you expect on the oceans salinity near a desert?
near the desert(30 degrese latitude) more water is evaporated than returned to the ocean by rainfall or rivers\canals.thereforth the ocean salinity near the deserts would be higher than most other latitudes
What animal would be most useful at high altitudes and cold climates?
Llama or goat
What two factors are most significant in creating a dense mass of ocean water?
The two most significant factors in creating a dense mass of ocean water are low temperature and high salinity. Cold water is denser than warm water, while high salinity increases the water's density by adding more dissolved salts.
Where would you find the most salinity?
in the ocean
Which layer of the ocean has higher salinity?
The top most layer has more salinity. But ignoring thermo-haline currents.
What is the most negatively charged ion dissolved in seawater?
The most negatively charged ion dissolved in seawater is chloride. In fact, Cl- makes up 55 percent of the seawater's salinity.
How salty does the water have to be for an egg to float?
The sea has to have at least 4 tablespoons of salt in order for an egg to float.
How does salt prevent food spoilage?
Most bacteria, which cause food spoilage, cannot tolerate the high salinity. The salt draws out moisture, causing them to die.
