What else can I help you with?
Which layer of the ocean has higher salinity?
The top most layer has more salinity. But ignoring thermo-haline currents.
What is the very top layer of the earth?
The top layer of the Earth is called the crust. It is a solid, rocky outer shell that varies in thickness beneath the continents and oceans.
Why would there generally be a higher salinity near the north and the south poles near the glaciers?
Because of the solidification of the water under low temperatures. The water is "turned" into ice, leaving the salt behind. So the salt is left in the water, with the freshwater turned into ice floating on top. If the glaciers melt, the salinity will decline, because this new freshwater will dilute the salty waters.
Where is the densest water in all the oceans formed?
the most dense part of the water is in the pacific ocean. it is located near the middle of the ocean. go 50 miles past the middle and you there. Make sure you go north though. It's an ocean trench. HOPE THIS HELPS>>>>>EVEN THOUGH IS'T WRONG...
The oceans crust is composed of what?
The oceanic crust composed of sima, mafic rocks and basalt. This is the top layer of the lithosphere which is found in the ocean floor.
Does water with higher salinity sink below water with lower salinity?
The higher the saline content in water the heavier the water. This causes it to sink towards the bottom and water with lower levels will rise to the top. It will remain so unless stirred vigoriouly and often. Many animals live, and thrive in this setting, such as salt marshes, springs, also some ponds and lakes.
Is the organic layer always on top of the aqueous layer?
No, the organic layer is not always on top of the aqueous layer. The layering depends on the relative densities of the organic and aqueous phases. The less dense layer will be on top.
How does salinity affect the density of the ocean water?
Dissolving salts in water increases the density slightly. Ocean waters have an average density about 2.5% greater than fresh water. The Dead Sea has a much higher density, somewhere roughly near 20% greater than fresh water due to its 30% salinity level.
Why is it harmful to waste the top layer of soil?
The top layer of soil is the most fertile layer. It is the best for growing crops.
What runs on the top of the troposphere?
That would be the 2nd layer, the stratosphere layer with the ozone at top.
What is they layer of tissue underneath epidermis and hypodermis?
The skin layers from top to bottom are the epidermis (top layer), dermis (middle layer), and hypodermis (bottom layer).
In sedimentation what order does the layers goes?
In sedimentation, the layers are arranged in chronological order with the oldest layer at the bottom and the youngest layer at the top. This is known as the Law of Superposition in geology, which helps scientists determine the relative ages of different rock layers.
