Across
- 3. ratio of heat absorbed by a material to the temperature change
- 6. property of a material that expresses the degree of slowness with which its temperature reaches that of the environment
- 7. a layer in an ocean or other body of water in which water density increases rapidly with depth
- 8. a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes
- 9. total kinetic energy in calories of all the particles in a substance or object
Down
- 1. salt level
- 2. The density of seawater can be increased by reducing its temperature, increasing its salinity , or increasing the pressure 1 g/cm3 at 4o C
- 3. vertical zone in the oceanic water column in which salinity changes rapidly with depth
- 4. the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
- 5. the transition layer between warmer mixed water at the ocean's surface and cooler deep water below
