Explanation:

Density of ocean water at the sea surface is about 1027 kg/m3. There are two main factors that make ocean water more or less dense than about 1027 kg/m3: the temperature of the water and the salinity of the water. Ocean water gets denser as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is.
