<span>Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation and sea ice formation. The density of seawater primarily depends on two factors, temperature and its salinity. When temperature is decreased and salinity is increased, the density increases. Sea ice formation lowers the seawater's temperature, while evaporation increases the salinity.</span>
Precipitation needs to happen to keep the water cycle balanced
The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules: A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions. A molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
