When seawater becomes _______, its volume ______, making sea levels ______.
a.Cooler; decreases; rise
b.Cooler; increases; rise
c.Warmer; decreases; rise
d.Warmer; increases; rise

Respuesta :

Answer:

d.Warmer; increases; rise

Explanation:

Here is a play between density, volume and temperature changes of sea water.

The sea takes up a whooping 70% of the earth surface, occupying more space than the continents.

  • When sea water becomes warmer, its molecules are freer and move about in the volume.
  • During this period, the colder water at depths tending towards freezing will release more water and increase the volume of the ocean.
  • The will lead to an increase in volume and makes sea level rise.
  • A cold seawater will take up less volume as the water molecules will be more packed.
  • This will make the volume of sea water reduce and the sea level will fall.
