Average salinity of ocean water.
What is 35 ppt?
Water becomes less dense the _____ it gets. (temperature)
What is colder?
Salinity levels to rise and fall. (water cycle)
What is,

Area between 2 layers where the temperature drastically changes.
What is thermocline?
New characteristics a compound develops through bonding.
What is emergent properties?
how do ionic bonds form?
What is when an ion loses an electron, its positive charge is attracted to the newly formed negative ion that gained its electron?
What is runoff. Water flows from a lake or other body of fresh water which then flows into the ocean lowering salinity?
