Answer

Temperature and Salinity

Explanation:

The two key factors that determine the density of ocean water are the temperature of the water as well as the salinity of the water.

Theoretically the density of ocean water at the sea surface is usually about 1027 kg/m3. When the temperature is low then the density of ocean water increases until freezing of the water occurs.When there is also increase in Salinity if water the density of water also increases. However the temperature of an ocean have more impact on the density than the salinity of the ocean.

Density of ocean is usually calculated through the situ measurements of temperature, salinity by taking the sample of the ocean and taking it to laboratory

If place A lies at the height of 2500 meters above the sea level and its surface temperature is 20 degree celcious, estimate the
Alchen [17]

Answer:

<u>14°C</u>

Explanation:

Place A = 2500 m = 20°C

Place B = 1500 m = ? °C

First of all, we know that <em>the air temperature decreases with 6°C at every 1000 m.</em>

So, now it is easy to find the temperature from place B.

If in place A, at 2500 m is 20°C, then at place B the temperature will be with 6°C lower.

Place B = 20°C - 6°C = <u>14°C</u>

Which factor is the most accurate in determining the absolute age of two rocks?.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In determining the absolute age of two rocks, the most important thing is the radioactive dating of the rocks to compare the radioactive isotopes within them. Absolute dating involves ascribing numerical age to a rock body. It is usually done by the process of radioactive dating in which the number of daughter to parent isotopes are compared.
