California Academy of Sciences: Differing Densities - Fresh and Salt Water
California Academy of Sciences: Differing Densities - Fresh and Salt Water
We know that melting glaciers lead to sea level rise, but what else?
This lesson extension to Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise demonstrates the role density plays in water circulation and paves the way to discussing thermohaline circulation, or the “great ocean conveyor belt.”
