The open ocean of any depth is called?
The open ocean of any depth, where animals swim or float freely is called a pelagic zone. Salinity variations in the open ocean normally ranges from 33 to 38 percent.
What makes water change from one state to another?
Heat, or Pressure, and possibly salinity Cold
How does temperature change with depth in Earth's crust?
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
What is a rapid change in ocean density with change in depth called?
Pycnocline
Why do oceanographers take measurements of the of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
Why does velocity of water change with depth?
The primary change is of pressure, increasing at 1 Bar per 10 metres of depth; but in the oceans, the temperature and salinity also alter in subtle ways.
What will happen to salinity if the depth of the ocean increases?
There are a number of things that could happen to the salinity of an ocean if it's depth increased. The salinity would likely also increase.
How does the salinity of the ocean change with depth?
The concentration of Saline [solution] at depth depends upon, for one thing, the degree of presence of [newly introduced in this case] fresh Water.
What factors affect density currents?
Temperature, salinity and total saturation of other minerals, depth.
What are some physical characteristics of the ocean?
Depth, salinity, currents, waves, and brightness.
A zone in which the ocean's salinity increases rapidly with increasing depth is called?
halocline
Average salinity of water of Arabian sea is?
35 It has a high, dense salinity layer of 37 parts per thousand to a depth of 400 feet
How would salinity change if some ocean water evaporated?
Salinity is increased.
What are abiotic factors for the ocean?
tide temperature salinity depth and and i cannot think of the fifth
How does salinity change in warm climates where water evaporates quickly?
Salinity is increased during time.
How does salinity change the properties of water?
Salinity causes the water to forget it's properties and relatives.
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
