Physical Properties Of Ocean Water

Question 1

What is the temperature when in low latitudes?

Answer 1

High temp

Question 2

What is the temperature when in high latitudes?

Answer 2

Low temp

Question 3

the water is hotter here than the one you went to years ago. this explains that the place is in what location?

Answer 3

Low latitude/near equator

Question 4

mass per unit volume

Answer 4

Density

Question 5

Steep change in temperature

Answer 5

Thermocline / thermohaline

Question 6

Density increases rapidly here

Answer 6

Pycnocline

Question 7

This prevents the mix of shallow and deep water

Answer 7

Pycnocline

Question 8

Amount of salt dissolved in water

Answer 8

Salinity

Question 9

Average seawater percentage

Answer 9

3.5% or 35ppt

Question 10

More salinity can be found where?

Answer 10

Dessert biomes

Question 11

Salinity is high in equator and low in polar regions. Is this true?

Answer 11

False. Both are low. Higher in dessert biomes

Question 12

More salinity so this means more conductive? Y/N?

Answer 12

Yes

Question 13

Salinity causes the water to be lighter. T/F

Answer 13

False

Question 14

Sharp increase in salinity

Answer 14

Halocline

Question 15

Describe the levels of depth, temp, density, and salinity in surface water

Answer 15

High temp, low depth, low density, low/high salinity

Question 16

Describe the levels of depth, temp, salinity, density in deep water

Answer 16

High depth, low temp, high/low salinity, high density

Question 17

Type of relationship between density and salinity

Answer 17

Directly proportional. High:high, Low:low

Question 18

Type of relationship between temp and density

Answer 18

Inverse

Question 19

Density and depth relationship

Answer 19

Directly proportional

Question 20

movement of water from low latitude to high latitude

Answer 20

Upwelling

Question 21

Garbage patch are found in where?

Answer 21

Middle of currents

Question 22
