Which of the relationships between temperature and salinity (saltiness) or density of seawater is NOT true?

Question

(1 point)
Responses

As salinity increases, density increases.
As salinity increases, density increases.

As temperature changes, salinity remains the same.
As temperature changes, salinity remains the same.

As temperature decreases, density decreases.
As temperature decreases, density decreases.

As temperature increases, density decreases.

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT true is:

As temperature decreases, density decreases.

This statement is incorrect because as temperature decreases, the density of seawater actually increases, given that colder water is denser than warmer water.
