What two properties determine the density of sea water?
Temperature and Salinity. Both are important although temperature has a much greater effect than salinity on seawater density.
What is the earths saltiest sea?
The saltiest of the four major oceans is the Atlantic Ocean. The Dead Sea is much saltier, but is not an ocean it is a lake. The Dead Sea is so salty nothing can live in there. Most oceans are around 3.5% salt (35 parts per thousand (ppt)) The Dead Sea contains around 33.7% salt, it ranges in layers that are between 300 and 400 ppt
At what temperature does sea water boil?
Sea water boils at a higher temperature than fresh water due to the presence of salt. The boiling point of sea water is typically around 212°F (100°C), but can vary slightly depending on the salinity of the water.
What body of water has the lowest density?
Surface mixed zone
Can sea water freeze?
The seawater does freeze. The freezing point of seawater depends upon it's salinity,which is the amount of salt that it contains. Open ocean seawater has a salinity of about 35. Fresh water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and 35 water freezes at about -2 degrees C. The decrease is linear so that water with a salinity of 17 freezes at about -1 degree C. In the winter large tracts of polar seawater freeze to a considerable thickness.
How does the amount of salt in the dead sea compare to ocean water?
The salinity in isolated seas and salt-water lakes (for example, the Dead Sea) can be considerably greater. SO there's a high salinity in the Dead Sea. :D
How do you find the chemical analysis of water in the Jordan River Dead Sea Mediterranean Sea or the Sea of Galilee?
Partial answer: The salinity of the dead sea is ~31.5% by weight while the salinity of the Mediterranean is ~3.5%
Why does the Dead Sea have such high salinity levels?
The Dead Sea has high salinity levels because it has no outlet for water to flow out. Water from the Jordan River flows in and evaporates, leaving behind salt and minerals, which increases the salinity over time.
What is the teperature of salt water?
Saltwater does not have one definite salinity - for instance the salinity of the water in the Dead Sea is different to that of the Atlantic. Indeed the salinity of the sea itself can vary.
Which sea has the highest salinity in the world?
dead seathe dead sea
Why does dead sea has highest salinity?
There are several factors that the Red Sea has high salinity. The Red Sea has a high rate of evaporation and very little precipitation. It also has a limited connection with the Indian Ocean, which has lower water salinity. The Red Sea has a lack of significant rivers or streams draining into the sea.
Where would the lowest density of sea water be found?
The lowest density of sea water is typically found in the surface waters in tropical regions, where there is high temperature and low salinity. This is because warmer water is less dense than colder water, and water with lower salinity is less dense than water with higher salinity.
What is the approximate salinity of the Dead Sea?
33.7%
What seas are easiest to swim in?
The higher the salinity of the water the easier it is to float - the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Great Salt Lake.
Why things float in the dead sea?
becuase there is such a high salinity that the water is too thick for anything to sink in it
What body of water in southwest Asia is the saltiest and lowest in the world?
I suppose it would be the Dead Sea. It is a salt lake in the middle of Jordan and Israel. It is not a sea as its name suggest, but rather just a lake.It has a salinity of 33.7%, which in fact is 8 times as salty as normal sea water. As a result of its salinity, no animals or plants can grow near it, hence giving it the name "Dead sea".
Where does salinity tend to be below average?
the dead sea
