Which has a greater density-- deep or shallow water?

Answer 1

They have the same density. It doesn't matter if the water is shallow or deep; the density of water is the same.

Answer 2

Come on, you can figure this out for yourself. You're not an idiot. Imagine one cubic foot of water at a depth of 6 feet below the surface. Assume you figure out that its density is 1. Now you know that the density of just about anything is determined by how much pressure is pushing against it. You also know that the deeper beneath the surface of water you go the more pressure there will be. Now, answer the question..!

Answer 3

Deep water has greater density.

Answer 4

Deep

Answer 5

Deep water has greater density.

"Temperature, salinity and pressure work together to determine water density (weight of water divided by the amount of space it occupies). Cold, salty water is much denser than warm, fresher water and will sink below the less dense layer."

Answer 6

Hi. Depends on the temperature. The densest water occurs at about 39 degrees F. Water is not compressible.

Answer 7

the pressure as you go towards the bottom increases, therefore volume decreases. and the volume decreases, the density or mass/volume increases. a smaller denominator means a bigger number.

Answer 8

deep water because the deeper you get the higher the consetration is higher. thats why your ears pop in deep water.

Answer 9

deep..u nummnuts
