What else can I help you with?
Is a hurricane the same as a hailstorm?
The Hurricane mainly stays on water.
Does human blood have the same composition as sea water?
no. blood has approx .9% salinity, while ocean water has about 3.5% salinity.
A region of ocean water having the same temperature and a salinity throughout is a what?
A region of ocean water with the same temperature and salinity throughout is called a water mass. These water masses occur due to factors like water density, mixing, and currents, and serve as distinct bodies with specific characteristics in the ocean.
How does the ocean's salinity remain the same always?
The ocean's salinity remains the same because of all of the salt spray. It is always spitting out salt from the ocean. Also the sea life uses the salt in various ways. Another reason is that rocks take salt from the ocean as they form over time.
Why does the addition of rain and river water to the ocean not decrease the ocean's overall?
The addition of rain and river water to the ocean does not decrease its overall salinity because rain and river water are fresh water sources with low salinity levels. While these sources do mix with the ocean water, the vast volume of the ocean dilutes the impact of the fresh water input, thus maintaining the ocean's overall salinity.
When swimming pool water is cold what happens the salinity?
The level stays the same and several units have trouble adjusting the level that is in the water and will shut down.
Can fish live in the ocean?
No, the vast majority of Freshwater Fish would not be able to deal with the high salinity of ocean water and would die in the ocean. The same with Saltwater Fish, the vast majority would not be able to deal with the low salinity of fresh water and would die in a lake or river.
Can all fish live in the ocean?
No, the vast majority of freshwater fish would not be able to deal with the high salinity of ocean water and would die in the ocean. The same with saltwater fish, the vast majority would not be able to deal with the low salinity of fresh water and would die in a lake or river.
Is the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plains an alliteration?
No, it is an "assonance". Assonance repeats vow sounds, alliteration repeats consonant sounds as in "Peter picked a peck of pickled peppers".
What region of water has the same temperature an salinity?
The region of water that maintains a consistent temperature and salinity is typically found in the ocean's pycnocline, which is a layer where the density gradient is greatest. Additionally, the thermocline, a layer in the ocean where temperature changes rapidly with depth, can also exhibit relatively uniform conditions in specific areas. These zones can be influenced by factors such as ocean currents and local environmental conditions, leading to variations in temperature and salinity. In general, deeper waters tend to have more stable temperatures and salinities compared to surface waters.
How does the ocean floor keep getting wider but the earth stays the same size?
Because the Earth's tectonic plates are constantly moving
How does salinity affect the density of the ocean water?
Dissolving salts in water increases the density slightly. Ocean waters have an average density about 2.5% greater than fresh water. The Dead Sea has a much higher density, somewhere roughly near 20% greater than fresh water due to its 30% salinity level.
