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