Question

Which best explains density and temperature? What increases as you go deeper into the ocean?

Warmer water takes up more space, so it is less dense than cold water.


Warmer air takes up less space, so it is denser than cold water.


Warmer water takes up less space, so it is less dense than cold water.

Answer 1

Answer: A

Cold water has a higher density than warm water. When water gets warmer, thermal expansion occurs which causes the volume of water to increase. Deep water is denser than shallow water.

Answer 2

C!!!! The farther you go down, the less the warm water reaches, so therefore the answer is C
