What evidence supports the fact that temperature of seawater is more a controlling factor of density than salinity?
The question is ambiguous, controlling factor of what? Specific gravity will change according to temperature (all other things being equal) Salinity will not change with temperature. Water will is most dense at about 4 degrees Celsius, and will become less dense at higher and lower temperatures (to a point)
What is unique about water as it gets colder and colder?
It's most dense at 4 degrees celsius. Get any lower and it takes up more volume. As a general rule, chemicals get denser as they get colder.
Is warm or cold water denser?
its according to what other temperature of water you are comparing it to. water is densest at 4 degrees C so water that is colder then 4 degrees C is technically less dense then water at 4C. in that case the warmer water is denser. but if you mean warm water to be >4C and cold water to be colder then warm water, but not below 4C, then cold water is more dense then warm water. but the question you are probably trying to get answered would have an answer of cold is denser
How does heat affect the density of liquids?
As a general rule of thumb for most substances as the temperature increases the density decreases. There are a few well-known exceptions to the rule; for example the density of liquid water between 0 degrees and four degrees Celsius actually increases with temperature to a maximum at 4 degrees (after which it starts decreasing again). Even more widely known is that liquid water at 0 degrees Celsius is more dense than ice at the same temperature; this is very unusual, as for most substances the solid phase is more dense than the liquid phase.
Liquids are generally denser than solids but why ice floats on water as it is a solid?
Most substances become more dense as their temperatures decrease. The bonds between each atom gets close and stronger, thus harder to break apart. However, water has a special property that, at 4 degrees Celsius, the atoms are the most dense. As water gets colder, the atoms get further apart, so when water is 0 degrees Celsius (Freezing point) then the atoms are less dense than water at 4 degrees Celsius. When a substance is less dense than the liquid it`s placed in, it would float. That`s why ice water would float on water.
What kind of current froms when more dense seawater move toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves towards less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
What kind of currents forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater?
A density current forms when more dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater.
Temperature at which water is most dense?
4 degrees Celsius.
Why does water expands at 4 degree celsius?
Water has curious thermal properties. It contracts (gets denser) as it cools down just like other materials. However, at 4 degrees Celsius, it reaches the maximum density of 1 and then starts expanding if it is further cooled. Ice formed at zero degree Celsius is actually less dense than water and floats on it.
How does the density of the water change as a function of temperature?
It's at its most dense at 4 degrees Celsius. Below that it becomes less dense until it freezes and above 4 degrees Celsius it also gets progressively less dense (due to its expansion).
What forms when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
Density current
Movement that occurs when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
density current
Water is most dense at what degree celsius?
Water has the greatest density at 4ºC or 39.2ºF
Caused when dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater?
I think that it causes a deep ocean current.....
How density current forms?
Density currents - more dense seawater sinking beneath less dense seawater.
What is less dense than water at 4 degrees Celsius?
Ice. It expands when it's 0 degrees Celsius.
