Across
  1. 1. temperature of water that is denser
  2. 5. concentration of dissolved salts in the water
  3. 6. material needed by shelled organisms and corals; decreases as acidity increases
  4. 8. lowers the salinity of an area
  5. 9. how the mass of an object relates to its volume
  6. 10. area with high levels of nutrients
  7. 12. gas absorbed by the ocean, lowering the pH
  8. 14. acid that forms when carbon dioxide mixes with seawater
Down
  1. 1. property of water where it is attracted to itself
  2. 2. refers to the clarity of the water
  3. 3. bond formed by sharing of electrons and holds a water molecule together
  4. 4. oceans with lower salinities due to ice melting and low evaporation rates
  5. 7. property of water where it is attracted to other substances
  6. 11. layer of water where the temperature rapidly decreases
  7. 13. high rates of this will increase the salinity
