The surface salinity of the ocean is a key variable in the climate system when studying the global water cycle, ocean–atmosphere exchanges and ocean circulation, all vital components transporting heat, momentum, carbon and nutrients around the world. [84] Cold water is more dense than warm water and salty water is more dense than freshwater.
Tap water is not sterile and may contain waterborne germs, such as bacteria, fungi and amebas, which form a biofilm barrier to water treatment chemicals — mainly chlorine and chloramine ...
