In addition to salinity what factor affects the density in sea water?

Density of seawater is largely a function of two factors: depth, that is, the deeper water is more dense than water at shallower levels; and temperature - water at higher temperatures is less dense than cooler water. Salinity is also a factor, but that's a localized phenomena simply because all the worlds oceans are in fact one large ocean and maintains an average overall salinity.

What is the main difference between a density dependent limiting factor and a density independent limiting factor?
A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size. Its in my biology book.
What is one factor that decreases salinity in seawater?
Salinity in oceans decrease when near a river because the river adds fresh water, which lowers the percentage of salt in the water, causing the salinity to decrease.
What is an density dependent factor?
A density dependent factor is a factor that is affected by the amount of organisms in a population. An example of this would be sickness, as the higher the density is, the more easily the sickness will spread.
What kind of limiting factor depends on the population size?
Resources such as food, water, space for shelter are some.
Is seasonal cycles a density dependent limiting factor?
No it is a Density independent factor- nonliving and does not depend on population size
What factor affects the density of sea water?
Temperature, salinity, and pressure.
What is a factor that affects salinity the in the ocean?
sheep stays sheep
What is the most important factor affecting seawater density?
Relative salinity is the most important factor in seawater density.
What is the limiting factor that affects populations no matter what their size?
Density Independent
What factor affects the same percentage of population regardless of the population's density?
flood
List three factors that affect salinity in the ocean and three factors that affect ocean temperatures. Explain how each factor affects salinity or temperatures?
Three factors are evaporation and freezing of sea water.
Is salinity a biotic factor?
No, salinity would be abiotic.
What is difference between density independent and density dependent limiting factors?
A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size. Its in my Biology book.
Which is density-independent factor?
Hurricanes
Which factor affects the same percentage of a population regardless of the population’s density?
flood is the correct answer :) love u dianitha E
Why is salinity important for the chesapeake bay?
