when rainwater and runoff, as well as underground streams of water dissolve minerals in the rock or soil which includes salt, and reach the water body with a higher concentration of salt than the water body. salt increase can also be caused by evaporation of the water, which reduces the water level while maintaining the same salt content, hence more salt in less water.

salt being lost can occur through desalination or harvesting of salt, as well as rain and runoff which travels overland, hence gaining much less salt, and diluting the overall salt content of the water body.

What causes decrease of density in warming water?

As water warms, the thermal expansion effect causes the water molecules to spread out, leading to a decrease in density. This is because warmer water is less dense than colder water. The increase in temperature causes the water molecules to move faster and spread out, resulting in a decrease in the mass of water within a given volume.


When the air rises does it increase or decrease?

When air rises, it expands and cools, which causes its density to decrease. Conversely, when air descends, it compresses and warms, which causes its density to increase.


Why does the sun cause swelling of the water in the body?

The sun causes dehydration by evaporating moisture from the skin, which can lead to a decrease in the body's water content. This decrease in water content can trigger a compensatory mechanism in the body that causes an increase in water retention, leading to swelling.
