Answer:

Salinity and temperature affect water density

Explanation:

Salinity and temperature affect water density as the temperature increases the ocean water becomes less denser , on decreasing the temperature  the ocean water becomes more denser.We can see it as less dense water (For ex. ice ) floats on more dense water. Taking two layers of water with the same salinity, the hotter water will float on top of the colder water. Temperature has a greater effect on the density of water than the salinity.

Salinity  of the oceans can be increased  in following ways:

  1. Evaporation of ocean water
  2. Formation of sea ice

Salinity  of the oceans can be decreased  in following ways:

  1. Precipitation of rain and snow
  2. Melting of ice
