| Salinity | the amount of salt found in water |
| How does salinity affect the density of water? | It increases the density |
| If the temperature of water decreases, what happens to the density of water? | It increases the density |
| Name three factors that influence the oceans convection currents. | Salinity Temperature Density (this is determined by the temperature and salinity) |
| Which has more thermal energy, salt water or fresh water? Why? | Salt water because it has more particles |
| What does salinity do to the temperature of water? | Increases the boiling point (makes food cook faster) Decreases the freezing point (salt the roads to prevent ice from forming) |
