what is true about ocean water that is more dense?
1. It is generally warmer water.
2. It sinks to the bottom.
3. It has a lower salinity than less dense water.
4. It rises to the surface.

Answer :

Answer:

Ocean water is more dense because of the salt in it. ... Temperature has a greater effect on the density of water than salinity does. So a layer of water with higher salinity can actual float on top of water with lower salinity if the layer with higher salinity is quite a bit warmer than the lower salinity layer.
