Answer:

As salinity increases, the mass of the water increases as it holds more salt particles per unit volume, making it more dense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Density of ocean water is based on the amount of salt in a given volume of water.

I took the test and it was right 100% sure:)

As density increases, the amount of salt or salinity increases. Salinity can decrease from the melting of ice or increase from the freezing of ice
