Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
How do temperature and salinity relate to deep-current movement?
The density of the water increases with the salinity, so saline water is denser and sinks to the bottom. Temperature is also a factor, however. Cold, saline water is the densest
What is the effect of temperature and salinity on the density of water?
This is a simple one. # Density is mass divided by volume. # Heat increase causes increase in volume. # Therefore, as mass is constant and volume is increasing, the density will drop. Hope that helps!
Which process increases the salinity of ocean water?
Evaporation: Water evaporating from the surface will increase the salt concentration and hence the density of sea water. Dilution: An inflow of fresh water (rivers, rain) will dilute the salt solution leading to a decrease in density. Temperature: As the temperature of sea water increases it expands. As the volume increases, the density will decrease. Cooling will have the opposite effect. It should be noted that water has its highest density at 4 degrees C after which it starts to decrease. Pressure: Although it is considered that liquids cannot be compressed, some compression is in fact observed in deep oceans. The deeper you go, the higher the density of the sea water. Coriolis effect
Name two factors that can effect the salinity levels of ocean water?
Biomass and temperature, erosion and mineral content.
How does water temperature affect water salinity?
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
What affects density more temperature or salinity?
Density is affected by both temperature and salinity. The colder the temperature and the saltier the substance, the greater the density.
How are density and salinity related?
Increasing the salinity the density is also increased.
How do salinity and density related to each other?
Increasing the salinity the density is also increased.
How does density affect currents?
Salinity and temperature
What is the density of water affected by?
Temperature and Salinity
What factors affect density currents?
Temperature, salinity and total saturation of other minerals, depth.
What is the density of the ocean depend on?
Mostly salinity and temperature
What factors-affect density currents?
Salinity and temperature
What are the factors that influence the density of water?
Temperature and Salinity
What two things affects the density of the water?
The temperature and the salinity affect water's density.
What two things effect the density of water?
Temperature and Salinity.
