... a. In winter these waters are saltier and colder, and therefore denser, than deeper water b. All year long these waters are less dense than deeper waters c. In summer these waters are saltier and warmer, and therefore less dense, than deeper water d. The question is false; deep-ocean circulation is ...

... Ocean Literacy Principles 1.d - Sea level is the average height of the ocean relative to the land, taking into account the differences caused by tides. Sea level changes as plate tectonics cause the volume of ocean basins and the height of the land to change. It changes as ice caps on land melt or ...

... and water travel towards the Equator. In the tropics, air masses can undergo moist convection releasing latent heat by forming precipitation, thus acting to make warm surface water fresher. We propose that the Clausius-Clapeyron relationship for moist near-surface air acts like a lower bound for the ...
