Is the ocean water more salty or less salty near the North pole and South pole?
Ocean water is generally less salty near the North and South Poles due to the melting of ice, which dilutes the salinity. Additionally, cold temperatures limit the evaporation of water, which contributes to lower salinity levels in polar oceans.
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
Would water freezing at the poles make the remaining water more or less salty?
When water freezes at the poles, the ice that forms is primarily freshwater, as salt is excluded from the ice crystal structure. This process increases the salinity of the surrounding seawater because the remaining liquid water has a higher concentration of salt. Therefore, as ice forms, the remaining water becomes more salty.
What type of water is more dense cold salty or warm less salty water?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.
What type of water is more dense cold salty water warm or less salty?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.

Do oceans near the poles tend to be saltier?
The water is saltier at the poles, and less salty at the equator.
Why is the water in the baltic sea less salty than most ocean water?
no
What is a place where rivers flow into oceans and have very salty water but not as salty as the ocean?
The place where a river flows into an ocean and fresh water mixes with salt water is known as a delta. The water that is less salty than seawater is known as brackish water.
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
Is salty water more or less dense than less salty water?
less
Why is there a water problem because the water cycle exist?
Because the water which can be used is very less. Ocean water is salty and unfit for consumption.
Is polar ocean water becoming more salty?
In the north, I believe it's becoming less salty, in part due to the melting of the ice sheets on Greenland.
Is very salty water more or less dense than less salt water?
Very salty water is more dense than water with less salt because the dissolved salt molecules increase the mass of the water. This higher density causes the salty water to sink below less salty water.
How does the rain affect the salinity of the ocean?
It makes it less salty because rain isn't salty.
How does water sink to the bottom of the ocean and then rise to the surface again?
Water sinks to the bottom of the ocean due to its density, which is affected by temperature and salinity. Cold and salty water is denser and sinks, while warm and less salty water rises. This movement is known as ocean circulation, where water moves in a continuous cycle from the surface to the depths and back again.
Is the ocean around Antarctica more salty than most other oceans?
During recent times, the water in the Southern Ocean is becoming less dense and less salty that it has been in the past, because the ice -- fresh water ice -- of the ice shelves is melting into the ocean, diluting it's historic properties. Classically, the Southern Ocean has been more salty, because of the evaporation of the fresh water from the ocean. It is also more dense because it is so cold and the water is deeper than in other oceans. However, climate change has reduced both the density and salinity of the Southern Ocean.
