Temperature and Water Flow Quiz

The density of water decreases as temperature rises, causing lighter, lower-temperature water to replace the higher-temperature water and creating a flow that moves the sequins.

A cargo ship sailing from Hong Kong to America lost a container of toys near the Hawaii Islands in 1992. Approximately 28000 rubber toys fell into the ocean.

Some of the toys reached the coast of Alaska after 10 months, and then some crossed the Bering Strait to the Arctic Ocean. Over time, some reached the Atlantic Ocean, while others traveled to the eastern coast of America, and even to the European coast and Australia.

<p>The region from sea level to the depth of 500 m is considered to be the surface water, and it is important because sunlight can reach till this depth, influencing the movement of objects in the ocean.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>As the temperature of water changes, its density also changes, affecting its buoyancy and flow. This can lead to the movement of objects like the plastic sequins and the rubber toys in the ocean.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>As the temperature of water increases, the density decreases, causing water with lower temperature to replace water with higher temperatures, leading to the movement of plastic sequins.</p> Signup and view all the answers
