The water from a melted glacier is less dense than the water of the seas.
cold ocean water is more dense than warm water
When a mass of more dense water sinks beneath less dense water, it creates a process called deep-water formation. This vertical movement helps in the redistribution of heat and nutrients in the ocean, playing a crucial role in ocean circulation and global climate regulation.
Ocean water is more dense than regular fresh water because it contains higher concentrations of dissolved salts and minerals. These dissolved compounds make the water heavier, increasing its density. Additionally, temperature and pressure differences between ocean water and fresh water can also contribute to variations in density.

It sinks because the water is more dense than the egg in the water.

cold ocean water is more dense than warm water
The ocean is most dense towards the bottom of the sea. As the water in the ocean gets colder it gets more dense.
Yes. It is more dense and colder -- the most dense and most cold of any ocean water on Earth.
Ocean water has many more various salts and minerals dissolved in it.
All else being equal cold water is more dense than warmer water. The Arctic Ocean, being colder, would be more dense.
Gets colder.

Water in general is not more dense in Utah. The water of the Great Salt Lake, however, is very ... um ... salty. The dissolved minerals in it make it more dense. The Great Salt Lake is actually significantly saltier than ocean water.
Ocean water is more dense than fresh water at the same temperature because it contains dissolved salts and minerals which increase its mass without significantly affecting its volume. This higher density allows ocean water to exert greater pressure at depth and affects ocean circulation patterns.
Salt water is more dense than fresh water. The salts and minerals in ocean water have more mass/volume than the water. So, the total density is greater .
More dense, however the effect that evaporation has on the oceans is negligible due to their sheer size.
