Seawater Properties and Continuity

• $p=$$m/v$
• specific heat capacity


  amount of energy it takes to heat 1kg of water by 1C
• at great depths, water is compressed
• warming water has decreased density
• cold freshwater has has increased density as you go below 4C
• freshwater below 4C forms ice at top
• in 1000g of saltwater, around 35g is salt
• as seawater is warmed its density decreases
• adding salt to water will increase mass and density
• Principle Conservation of Mass

  mass must be conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed
• mass cannot be created or destroyed
• water is almost incompressible
