Which of the following causes the density of seawater to increase?

Seawater denssity will increase as salinity increases. A less significant increase can result from temperature variations (colder is denser until freezing starts). Even smaller changes would occur with depth as the seawater is slightly compressible. As density is measured as mass/unit volume local gravity does not enter into the process.

∙ 8y agoThe density of water increases if the salinity increases.This means that is the amount of salt increases the water becomes more dense

What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
When temperature increases does density increase or decrease?
An increase in temperature usually causes an increase in volume. Since the mass doesn't change, density decreases. tt
What causes density to decrease?
an increase in volume and/or a decrease in mass
What is the energy that causes seawater to form water vapor?
The Sun
Air temperature increases density?
an increase in air temperature causes expansion of gas therefore a decrease in density. colder air is denser hence valley bottoms are often colder
What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
What causes the density current in the mediterranean?
the answer to this question is a density current forms when more dense seawater sinks beneath less dense seawater

What causes density to decrease?

When temperature increases does density increase or decrease?
An increase in temperature usually causes an increase in volume. Since the mass doesn't change, density decreases. tt
What effect does air density have on the absorption and radiation of energy?
An increase in air density will mean a decrease in the absorption and radiation of energy. An increase of air density causes temperature and pressure to rise.
When temperature increases density increases or decreases?
An increase in temperature usually causes an increase in volume. Since the mass doesn't change, density decreases. tt
What can causes an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
How does increasing the density of a gas causes the pressure to increase?
The obvious answer is that the more there is the more there is. More molecules more density, more pressure inside the vessel.
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the earths crust?
Because the density of the force increases.
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the earth's crust?
Because the density of the force increases.
