water density of mediterranean, red sea, black sea and dead sea?

Hello,

Can any one tell me the average water density of the caribean,
mediterranean, red , black and dead sea ? in metric system please if
possible.

Thanks,

Mario

On a more serious note, you need to clarify your question slightly. Do
you want the density of the water or the solution (ie. water, salt,
minerals, fish piss, algae, etc. etc.?)

The water, by definition, is the same density for the same temperature
and pressure, no matter the location. Generally, the saltier the water,
the lower the density. That's why you need more weight in the ocean vs.
a fresh water lake.

No need to clarify. The question was pretty clear to start. No need to
overcomplicate.

Not in the generally used sense of the word water.

Ummm, no. You've got it backwards. The saltier the water, the higher the
density. That is why you need more weight in the ocean vs a fresh water
lake.

Bart - would not that be the other way around. More salt, more density?

Altitude counts for a little, too.

"Average" is not relevant in the Carib. We have too many layers and
currents of differing temperature and salinity.

But a pint's a pound, the world around.

Not here it bloody isn't - I got robbed of three quid for a pint of Stella
not so long ago...

Nah, it's "A litre's a kilogram, the world around."

Isn't that backwards? By adding weight (lead), you are increasing your
density so that you will sink more easily. Isn't this because saltwater is
more dense than freshwater?

That should teach me to type at 6:30 in the morning. Thanks for
correcting my blooper, Lee. And I minored in Coastal Zone Ecology ...
