Water salinity describes the amount of salty minerals dissolved in a sample of water. It would therefore make no difference whether the water is warm or cold, since you would have the same amount of salt dissolved in the water per cm3 of water. Salinity would change if you added more water, or if the water was so hot that some of it evaporates, leaving all the dissolved solids behind, but decreasing the amount of water it is dissolved in.

∙ 14y agoYes! Cold water has a higher salinity and is more dense.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNot necessarily. Warm water has a higher capacity for salinity, but only by adding salt does salinity rise.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes because the water molecules contract due to the cold making it heavier.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, warm water has more salinity than cold water.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agono, the warmer the body of water, the higher the salinity
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoCold water with high salinity.

What is salinity used in a sentence?
The salinity of the ocean was much higher than I thought it would be.
Do ships float higher or lower in tropical waters?
higher Because... temperature affects the level as warm water provides less bouyancy, being less dense than cold water. The salinity of water also affects the level, fresh water being less dense than salty water
What is the difference in salinity between salt water and fresh water environment?
To be blunt, salt water has a lot more salinity than fresh water.
Is hot water less dense than cold water?
Yes, because the higher the temperature, the faster and more spread out the molecules, therefore making hot water less dense than cold water.
Where is the densest water in all the oceans formed?
the most dense part of the water is in the pacific ocean. it is located near the middle of the ocean. go 50 miles past the middle and you there. Make sure you go north though. It's an ocean trench. HOPE THIS HELPS>>>>>EVEN THOUGH IS'T WRONG...
What is the density in seawater determined by?
Seawater's density varies by temperature and salinity. I.e., cold water is more dense than warm water, and water with a higher salinity (more dissolved salt) is less dense than water with a lower salinity.
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
Why would you find more salinity at the surface of warm ocean water than cold ocean waters?
Warm water can carry more salt than cold water can.
What is hypersaline?
Hypersaline refers to a body of water that has about 40 parts per mil salinity which is much higher than the salinity for average ocean water which is about 35 parts per mil salinity.
Is a high salinity solution less dense than water?
No, increasing salinity results in higher density. This density increase means you will also be able to float more easily in more saline water. The higher the salinity the lower the temperature it will freeze.
True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
What is the difference between fresh water and ocean?
Ocean water has a higher salinity (salt content) than fresh water does.
Why sea water has a higher hydrometer reading than that of freshwater?
Seawater dissolves more than fresh water because of the salinity in the water.
Warm and cold water?
Warm water is little bit hotter than cold water. The temperature of warm water is higher than that of cold water
What is salinity used in a sentence?
The salinity of the ocean was much higher than I thought it would be.
How do temperature and salinity different produce convection currents?
The large amount of solids dissolved in ocean water, which is the salinity, makes it more dense than fresh water. Cold water is denser than warm water (temperature). These differences in density produce convection currents
What has a higher density cold or hot water?
Cold water has a greater density than hot water.
