Question

section a: ocean concepts (true/false)

1. as salinity increases, density increases. (true/false) — type: true/false
2. the ocean is denser the deeper you go. (true/false) — type: true/false
3. the deep zone is the largest zone. (true/false) — type: true/false
4. more plants grow in the transition zone than the surface zone. (true/false) — type: true/false
5. the deeper you go into the ocean there is more pressure. (true/false) — type: true/false

Explanation:

Question 1:

Salinity and density are related; as salinity increases, dissolved substances add mass, so density increases. So the statement is True.

Ocean water density increases with depth (due to pressure, temperature drop, salinity effects). Deeper water has higher density. So the statement is True.

The deep zone (abyssal zone) is the largest oceanic zone by volume/depth range compared to surface/transition zones. So the statement is True.

Answer:

True
