Is Water Density More Sensitive To Temperature Or Salinity?

by

Is Water Density More Sensitive To Temperature Or Salinity? Salinity, temperature and depth all affect the density of seawater. Temperature and salinity affect water density. Cold water is denser than warm water. Freshwater is less dense than seawater. What is the relationship between density salinity and temperature? The density of water increases as the salinity

What Are 2 Factors That Affect Salinity? Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these “salinity raising” factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.
