Why does the ocean water get saltier after evaporation?
If water is evaporated salt remain in the ocean.
How salinity and temperature affects the seawater?
Salinity and temperature are conservative properties of seawater that directly affect the density of seawater. This is an extremely important property because it in turn directly affects upwelling and downwelling of oceans and some major oceanic currents. This is because if a denser body of water is sitting on top of a less dense body of water, the denser part of the water column will turn over (sink) to get to a more stable water column state. This leads to water mixing of nutrients and oxygen for organisms living in the water column. Typically the saltier the water, the higher the density and also the colder the water, the higher the density. So because of this, cold and salty water (Antarctic and Arctic) are the most dense bodies of water and typically stay towards the bottom of the ocean floor.
Why is the salt left behind when the water evaporates and will it make the remaning water saltier?
Salt is not evaporated.
What is the pressure at the bottom of the ocean?
The pressure at the bottom of the ocean can be determined by the formula P = dgh, where d = 1025 kg per cubic meter, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the depth of the water in meters. At the bottom of the Marianas Trench (11034 meters), the pressure would be 1.11 E5 kPa, or 1095 times normal air pressure at sea level.
How do you differentiate between pure water and mineral water without tasting them?
You could measure its resistance; the saltier it is then the better conductor it is.
Why is salt water not gettting saltier when it gets evaporated?
After water evaporation the salt water is more saltier.
When sea water evaporates the salt is left behind you might think this would make the remaining water Saltier but in fact overall the ocean is not getting Saltier why do you think that is?
Please help
What cause warm climates to have saltier water?
When water evaporates it leaves salt be hind witch cause the water to become saltier
What body of water in the middle east is saltier then the ocean?
That would be the Dead Sea. It's approximately 9 times saltier than the ocean's waters.
When layered into a single column which water will sink to the bottom?
Salty, cold water I think...
Do oceans near the poles tend to be saltier?
The water is saltier at the poles, and less salty at the equator.
What is the height of a column of water where the pressure at the bottom of the column is 20.0 lb inch squared?
It is approx 46.3 feet.
One column of water has twice the diameter as another column of water. If the pressure is the same at the bottom of each column. How do the heights of the two columns compare?
The column with the smallest diameter has greater pressure and the column with a larger diameter has less pressure.
What was the effect of adding more salt to water?
saltier water.
Which is denser ocean water or fresh water?
ocean water, because it is saltier.
Are potatoes saltier than water?
It all depends where you get them from
What does brackish mean?
Saltier water than regular
