As Density  increases, what happens to Temperature?

Back

Temperature decreases

As salinity increases

Back

Density increases

Front

Ocean depth increases & Salinity increases then

Back

Temperature decreases because cold water is more dense and sinks.

Front

When an object or substance is cooler, its particles move slower and are closer together.

Back

True

Front

When an object or substance is warmer, its particles move faster and get further apart. True or False

Back

True

Front

True or False: Salinity increases as ocean depth increases.

Front

At which latitudes are the highest surface salinities located? See graph the Atlantic or the Pacific: About 20° N and S latitude, About 30° N and S latitude

Back

About 20° N and S latitude

Which ocean has higher average surface salinities: the Atlantic or the Pacific?

Back

Atlantic

Front

Briefly describe the overall relationship between temperature and density.

Back

Lower temperature water has higher density, warmer water has lower density.
