What can causes a increase in the density of the ocean water?

How do temperature and salinity relate to deep-current movement?

The density of the water increases with the salinity, so saline water is denser and sinks to the bottom. Temperature is also a factor, however. Cold, saline water is the densest


Which process increases the salinity of the ocean?

There are different kinds of process that deeply affects the salinity of ocean water. Continental deflections, Coriolis Effect, convection current and also evaporation.

What do evaporation and freezing increase in the ocean?

Evaporation increases salinity in the ocean by concentrating the salt content in the remaining water. Freezing increases salinity by excluding salt from the ice crystals that form, leaving the surrounding water saltier.
