Temperature affects the density of the seawater. Warming causes water to expand and become less dense. Excess warming at the surface may prevent surface water from being subducted to the ocean depths. Surface water typically retains its temperature/salinity balance after advecting to the ocean depths.

How does closeness to water affect temperature?

Closeness to water refers to the distance a place is from the ocean. It can affect temperature because during winter time the land but oceans are still warm. When winds blow over the warm ocean it absorbs the heat from the water. As the warm winds pass over the colder land it will raise the temperature over the land. Therefore, places closer to oceans have milder winters then places farther from oceans which will have more extreme winters.


How does changing the water temperature affect life?

For human life, increasing the temperature causes increasing the level of water in seas and oceans. Hence, a lot of lands will covered by water and long coasts will disappeared. For marine life, fish's and other marine organisms affect strongly by the temperature of water. The main danger for these organisms is the decrease of the level of oxygen in water which may kill them.


What does gravity affect in the water cycle?

Gravity affects the movement of water in the water cycle by causing precipitation to fall as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Gravity also influences the flow of water downhill as runoff into rivers, lakes, and oceans, as well as the movement of groundwater underground.


What factors affect the evaporation rate of boiling water?

The factors that affect the evaporation rate of boiling water include temperature, surface area, humidity, and air movement. A higher temperature, larger surface area, lower humidity, and increased air movement can all lead to a faster evaporation rate.
