Sentences with phrase «sink than warm water»

I should clarify that water does not necessarily need to be less dense to rise if it's being displaced by water at a greater pressure gradient, but it's still statistically more likely for cold water to sink than warm water.

Not exact matches

Warm water is less dense than cold water, so the cold water in the water balloon was more dense than the hot water and so sank.

That deep water is not only rich in nutrients, it also has relatively high concentrations of carbon dioxide, both because it is cold (cold water can absorb and hold more carbon dioxide than warm water) and because the decomposition of organic matter that sinks into the depths releases carbon dioxide.

Use warm water and a sink or basin rather than a bathtub will keep the dog more confined.

(PS regarding Venus — as I have understood it, a runaway water vapor feedback would have occured when solar heating increasing to become greater than a limiting OLR value (Simpson - Kombayashi - Ingersoll limit — see http://chriscolose.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/climate-feedbacks-part-1/ — although I should add that at more «moderate» temperatures (warmer than today), stratospheric H2O increases to a point where H escape to space becomes a significant H2O sink — if that stage worked fast enough relative to solar brightening, a runaway H2O case could be prevented, and it would be a dry (er) heat.

But since you bring it up, basic chemistry tells us that the marine sink will diminish with warming, since warmer waters take up less CO2 than cooler ones.

temperature of the water — cold water is more dense than warm water, so it sinks.

A greater - than - normal volume of warm salty tropical water was transported north with the current and this was drawn down into the ocean in the region around 60 ° N - where dense water sinking occurs.

The deep waters, being warmer than such surface waters, rise to the surface, as the upper layers sink slowly into the dark ocean depths.

Everything else being equal, warm water has a lower density than cold water and won't sink into the deep cold oceans.

Salt sinking on such a grand scale in the Nordic Seas allows warm water to flow much farther north than it might otherwise do.

Craig, the x +1 water can't sink unless the surface is warmer & less dense than it was previously.

Cold water will sink, moving warmer water upwards, or along in a current until it reaches a position where it's less dense than the water above, at which point it rises.

Eventually the surface water became denser than the warming deep water and started to sink, causing the corrosive deep water mass to spill over the ridge — overflowing the «giant bath tub».

Being denser than warm water it then sank and flowed out along the bottom of the ocean in deep ocean currents, eventually filling the depths of the ocean basins around the world.

You would not expect warmer water to sink in the N. Atlantic, but evidently increased salinity due to evaporation is a stronger effect than water temperature
