Properties of Ocean Water por Mind Map: Properties of Ocean Water

1. Salinity Of Ocean

1.1. Measure of the amount of dissolved solids and other solids in a given liquid

1.2. Also written as salinity = 35 parts per thousand grams of dissolved solids in 1000 g of ocean water

1.3. eg 35 g solids in 1000 g water, then its called as 35 parts salt per 1000 parts ocean water

1.4. Example? Rates of Evaporation and Precipitaion- Factors that change salinity

2. Temperature of Ocean Water

2.1. Temperature varies depending on depth and location

2.2. Tropical water 30 degree celcius, north and south poles 1.9 degree celcius

2.3. 5m thick and provides pack ice surface water

2.4. Thermocline layer of ocean water where temperature drops with increase in depth faster than it does in other layers

3. Dissolved Solids

3.1. 85% is salt ( halite) sodium chloride trace elements are gold zinc phosphorus

3.2. Volcanic eruptions chemical weathering or rock on land, chemical reactions between sea water and newly formed sea floor rocks

4. Oceans As Carbons Sink

4.1. Dissolves co2

4.2. Regulates Climate

4.3. 60 times as much as the atmosphere

5. Temperature and dissolved gases

5.1. Example a can of soda

5.2. warm water releases gases

5.3. Cold water dissolves more gases

5.4. Higher Latitudes and Equatorial Regions have different tendencies of dissolved gases

6. Colours Of the Ocean

6.1. Phytoplankton

6.2. Blue

7. Most Abundant Elements

7.1. Calcium

7.2. Potassium

7.3. Magnesium

7.4. Sodium

7.5. Sulfur

7.6. Chlorine
