No, in fact, just the opposite. As water cools, the atoms move more slowly and the water actually decreases in volume. (however, only very slightly, as far as every day comparisons go)

But just above freezing the density starts to lower again. If it were not for this fact, oceans and ponds would freeze from the bottom up, and would never melt, and there would be no life on earth.

What happens to snowflakes when air gets colder?

When the air gets colder, snowflakes can form as water vapor in the air condenses into ice crystals. These ice crystals then join together to form snowflakes. Colder temperatures allow for the formation of more complex and well-defined snowflake shapes.

The density of ocean water increases when it?

Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases the density of sea water. Source: Science book.


Does water temperature get warmer or colder the further down you go?

Usually, water temperature gets colder the further down you go in the ocean. This is because sunlight penetrates the surface layers, warming the water there, but not as much light reaches the deeper layers. This creates a temperature gradient with warmer water at the surface and colder water at depth.


When the density of ocean water increase?

Gets colder.
