Question
The ocean density is directly proportional to ______.
The ocean density is directly proportional to ______.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A salinity
The ocean density is directly proportional to the ocean salinity and inversely proportional to the ocean temperature. The density of seawater plays a vital role in causing ocean currents and circulating heat because of the fact that dense water sinks below less dense. Salinity, temperature and depth all affect the density of seawater.
