Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases the density of sea water.

What water temperature increases density of ocean water?

When the ocean water freezes, it increases the salinity. When the ocean water freezes at the surface, ice will float on top of water because ice is less dense than liquid water. The dissolved solids are squeezed out of the ice and enter the liquid water below the ice. This increases the salinity of the water. The density of the water also increases.


How does pressure change the density of sea water?

Pressure increases the density of sea water because it compresses the water molecules closer together, reducing the volume occupied by the same amount of water. As pressure increases with depth in the ocean, the density of sea water also increases. This effect is known as compressibility.


The density of sea water increases as?

the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases


In general he density of sea water increases as?

depth and salinity increases density of sea water increases


As water gets denser how does it moves?

Water increases in density until 4 degrees Celcius, when its density starts to decrease again due to hydrogen bonding. (see Wikipedia.org for more.) As water moves away from the equator, it gives off heat. As it cools, its density increases.


How does the density of water change with depth?

the density of sea increases with depth


Does salt effect density of water?

Yes, salt increases the density of water by adding more solute particles, which increases the mass per unit volume. This phenomenon is known as salinity and it causes water to become denser and heavier, affecting factors like buoyancy and circulation patterns in the ocean.


When the density of ocean water increase?

How have oceans on venus and mars affected the density of their atmospheres?

It's due to the chemical reaction of the co2 on the ocean water, since there is no salt the density increases

Which two factors influence seawater density?

-As temperature increases, density increases (due to thermal expansion) -As salinity increases, density increases (due to the addition of more dissolved material) -As pressure increases, density increases (due to the compressive effects of pressure) of these 3 factors, only temperature and salinity influence the density of surface water. Pressure influences seawater density only when very high pressures are encountered, such as in deep ocean trenches.'' (Thurman H., et al, 2002)
