Best Answer

Density variations of seawater with latitude are very similar to those for temperature variations with latitude. Because of the influence of temperature on seawater density, low latitudes exhibit lower densities at the surface that rapidly increase with depth. Higher latitudes exhibit little or no difference in density owing to the lack of a thermocline. Such a rapid change in density with depth is called a pycnocline, and like a thermocline is absent at higher latitudes.

Why is Water is greenish brown with white crust on walls of salt water pool?

Lack of proper maintenance. The green/brown could be iron in water but lack of proper circulation, chemistry and the person in charge of water management. The white crust is a calcium fallout due to lack of proper pH and alkalinity control. Both of which are too high. The salt system is not a cure all ~ you still have to test the water and adjust accordingly. k
