Which of the following is the most important influence on seawater density?

Geography
1 answer:
zepelin [54]3 years ago

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>salinity</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Depth</em> and <em>temperature</em> have a minor influence in the density of liquid <em>water</em>.

Although the density of the liquid water depends on the temperature, the change is small. For instance, the density of water at 0ºC is 0.9998 g/cm³; at 4ºC it is 1.0000 g/cm³; at 30ºC 0.9957 g/cm³.

Most of liquids are incompressible, which means that their density does not change with the pressure; thus, the depth has almost not effect on the density.

On the other hand, <em>salinity</em>, the salt content, does change the density of water. The more the solute, salt, dissolved the higher the density of the seawater. This is so because the dissolved salt increases the mass in a greater proportion than it increases the volume.

An example of this is the high density of the water of Dead Sea, one of the saltiest natural waters of the planet, with a density of 1.24g/cm³. It is impossible not floating with this density.

Give at least three examples each of primary and secondary sources. Explain the difference between them. (OC1)
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

A primary source is anything that gives you direct evidence about the people, events, or phenomena that you are researching. Primary sources will usually be the main objects of your analysis. If you are researching the past, you cannot directly access it yourself, so you need primary sources that were produced at the time by participants or witnesses (e.g. letters, photographs, newspapers).

A secondary source is anything that describes, interprets, evaluates, or analyzes information from primary sources. Common examples include: 1. Books, articles and documentaries that synthesize information on a topic 2. Synopses and descriptions of artistic works 3. Encyclopedias and textbooks that summarize information and ideas 4. Reviews and essays that evaluate or interpret something When you cite a secondary source, it’s usually not to analyze it directly.

Examples of sources that can be primary or secondary:

A secondary source can become a primary source depending on your research question. If the person, context, or technique that produced the source is the main focus of your research, it becomes a primary source.

To determine if something can be used as a primary or secondary source in your research, there are some simple questions you can ask yourself: 1. Does this source come from someone directly involved in the events I’m studying (primary) or from another researcher (secondary)? 2. Am I interested in analyzing the source itself (primary) or only using it for background information (secondary)?

Most research uses both primary and secondary sources. They complement each other to help you build a convincing argument. Primary sources are more credible as evidence, but secondary sources show how your work relates to existing research.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Human characteristics of place also include land use, density of population, language patterns, religion, architecture, and political systems
