Saltier water is denser than water with low salinity. Cool water generally has a greater
density than warm water. What effect do these factors have on the movement of ocean
water? What is the term for this effect?​

Respuesta :

Answer:Thermohaline circulation

Explanation: Because the ocean consists of warm, less salty water along the surface of the water, and cooler, saltier water  deep below the ocean , Thermohaline circulation occurs which  is the term used to control the  differences in  temperature and salinity of the ocean body  where the circulation continually replaces seawater, it involves warm, less salty water moving  along the surface of the water, and cooler, saltier water moving deep beneath  the ocean.

Effects of the factors such as salinity and temperature on movement of sea water.

  High temperatures give rise to warmer water and thus can hold more salt  than low temperatures leading to cold water having lower salinity.   the higher the salinity of ocean water, the more dense it becomes making it difficult to move and so the  water will sink to form convection current causing the cold with low salinity water to come above the warm water with high salinity and making ease of movement of seawater possible.
