Question

What can cause an increase in the density of ocean water?

Answer 1

Your answer would be A because Ocean water gets more dense with a decrease in water temp. also an increase in salinity could increase the density.<span />

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is option(A).

Explanation:

Salinity is defined as measure of all the salts dissolved in water.

Salinity of the ocean gets effected by the temperature:

• When the temperature increases the the density of the water decrease by density of the ocean water decrease.
• When the temperature decreases the density of the water increases by which density if the ocean water ls increases.

So, in order to increase the density of the ocean water temperature should be decreases.
