Seawater density increases with increasing salinity and decreasing pressure. True or False

FALSE

Explanation:

The density of seawater depends on certain factors such as-

Amount of salt present - The density of seawater is directly proportional to the salt concentration in the seawater. More is the amount of salt, more is the water density. Pressure - The seawater density increases with the increasing pressure. Pressure thus plays a significant role in controlling the density of seawater. The temperature of the seawater - The temperature also plays an important role, as both temperature and density of seawater are inversely proportional to each other.

Thus, the above-given statement is False.
