Water increases in density until 4 degrees Celcius, when its density starts to decrease again due to hydrogen bonding. (see Wikipedia.org for more.) As water moves away from the equator, it gives off heat. As it cools, its density increases.

What happens to ocean water as it becomes denser?

The water gets cooler


When water gets denser how does it move?

I think it sinks toward the ocean floor.


How does unequal heating during the day produce a sea breeze?

Land gets hotter than water. So air above land gets warmer. Warm air rises. Denser air from the sea moves into area with "less" air.


What happens when a wave moves through a denser medium?

When a wave moves through a denser medium, its speed decreases while its frequency remains constant. The wave will also experience refraction, causing it to change direction as it enters the denser medium. Additionally, the wavelength of the wave will shorten as it moves into the denser medium.


How does temperature affect the way water moves?

Temperature affects the way water moves by changing its density. Cold water is denser than warm water, causing it to sink. This process can drive ocean currents as denser, colder water sinks and displaces warmer, less dense water. Temperature also affects the rate of evaporation and condensation, influencing the water cycle.


Which is denser salt water of fresh water?

salt water is denser


When water is heated why it gets less denser?

The particles get further away from each other as water is heated therefore making it less dense


What is denser water or vinegar?

Vinegar is denser than water because vinegar is made of different substances that are denser than water, so that means vinegar is a little denser than water.


What type of air mass is denser?

The cold air moves under the warm air because the former is denser. So Warm air is denser.


How or why does light enter water by a limited distance?

Light enter the water base on the principle of refraction of wave,during this process light moves from a denser medium to a less denser medium leading to the change in wavelength of the light That, however true, is not an answer to the question. (VanZanten)


Is chalk denser than water?

yes chalk is denser then water.


How does temperature affect water?

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.
