Task: Physical and Chemical Properties of Ocean Water
Instructions

Use the information and image to answer Activity 1 and Activity 2.

A scientist is exploring and conducting an investigation to determine the physical and chemical properties of ocean water. The scientist uses an image of Earth to mark and label two areas that he and his team are exploring and conducting their investigations.

Complete each of the 2 activities for this Task.

Activity 1 of 2

Which physical property is determined by the salinity and temperature of ocean water?

A. mass
B. volume
C. weight
D. density
Activity 2 of 2

Which area on the image will have higher salinity and why?

The density, of a substance, exists in its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often utilized for density is ρ, although the Latin letter D can also be utilized.

Increases in the temperatures of surrounding entities like ice and an increase in precipitation count fresh water into the ocean, which decreases the salinity. ocean water with lower salinity lives lighter in density and won't sink as much as denser water. This method also varies the ocean currents. The temperature has a greater influence on the density of ocean water than salinity does. So a layer of water which is having higher salinity can even float on top of the water with the one having lower salinity if the layer with more increased salinity exists quite a bit warmer than the lower salinity layer.
