How does temperature affect density?
Warm temperature = less density

Warm temperature = more density
Cold temperature = more density
During which moon phase can a spring tide occur?
New
Waxing gibbous
First quarter

Why do warm water currents tend to move along the surface of the ocean?
They have a higher salinity, which makes them less dense
Their temperature makes them less dense, and therefore float
Their temperature makes them more dense, and therefore float
Trick question, warm water currents form deep in the ocean
