Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)

A tropical cyclone is a weather event that causes strong winds and heavy rainfall What is the source of energy for a tropical cyclone?
Latent heat from evaporated ocean water
What happens to the water table during heavy rainfall?
It rises.
Why are el nino waters less dense than those of the surrounding ocean?
El Nino waters are less dense because the waters are warmer and warm water is less dense than cool water. Also, it constantly rains over the ocean during the El Nino, and rain water is less dense than ocean water.
Why is the ice shelf floating?
The ice is less dense than the ocean water.
Does the salt from the ocean water evaporate?
No. It is too dense and gets left behind
Is cold ocean water more dense than water water?
more dense
Where is the ocean most dense?
The ocean is most dense towards the bottom of the sea. As the water in the ocean gets colder it gets more dense.
How and when does water pollution take place?
After a heavy rainfall
What happens to water when it is dense?
It turns to ice or heavy water.
A tropical cyclone is a weather event that causes strong winds and heavy rainfall What is the source of energy for a tropical cyclone?
Latent heat from evaporated ocean water
What is more dense cold water or warm?
cold ocean water is more dense than warm water
What happens to the water table during heavy rainfall?
It rises.
Is water from a glacier more dense than ocean water?
The water from a melted glacier is less dense than the water of the seas.
Why are el nino waters less dense than those of the surrounding ocean?
El Nino waters are less dense because the waters are warmer and warm water is less dense than cool water. Also, it constantly rains over the ocean during the El Nino, and rain water is less dense than ocean water.
Why is Water dense?
because it has a heavy mass but infinite volume
Is cold water more or less dense than warm water?
cold ocean waer has more dense than warm water.
How does the density of ocean water drive the movement of deep ocean currents?
By forcing currents to go over or under other currents depending on the density of the current
