What else can I help you with?
What are the two major components the ocean is made of?
Water and Salt
What are the two main source of salt?
The two main sources of salt are natural deposits in salt mines and sea water. Salt can be harvested from salt mines through mining and from sea water through the process of evaporation.
What are two large areas of salt water in Florida?
gulf of Mexico and Atlantic ocean
Where does deep ocean water originate?
The two main sources of deep water are at the poles, where the cold temperatures and the higher salinity make water denser and sink. Water is saltier here because when the water freezes, salt is left behind in the water, making salinity rise.
What are two ways the salinity of ocean water can increase?
Decreasing the temperature, evaporating water, or adding more salt.
Why is ocean water different from fresh water?
Ocean water contains salt and fresh water does not. Also, the two types of water are filled with a different variety of animals, both visable and microscopic.
What are two factors that can cause ocean water to sink?
the density of the water, temperature (warm temps) and salinity (amount of salt in the water) could make ocean water sink (-:
How do fish surive salt water in ocean?
"For most fish, they would die. But some, like eels and salmon, can move freely between the two at certain stages of their lives. To do this they have special mechanisms of excretion and absorption of salt and water salt water fish lose water to their environment, to the ocean. It becomes dehydrated so it constantly has to drink water. urinate a high concentration of salt., they have salt secreting cells.
Is dissolved salt in ocean water an example of a chemical change?
No. It is a physical change. All you have to do to separate the two is to evaporate the water. There is no chemical change.
What are the two most abundant resources in the ocean?
water and fish. sorry upon further reflection I realized it's probably water and salt.
What two solids occur in the greatest amount in the ocean?
Solids become dissolved in ocean water. The most common is salt (sodium chloride), which is why we often call ocean water 'saltwater'. The second most abundant is sulfate.
What are the 2 process that add salt to seawater?
The two processes that add salt to seawater are the chemical weathering of rocks on land, which release minerals into rivers that eventually flow into the ocean, and the evaporation of water from the ocean surface, leaving behind salt in the form of halite (table salt).
