In conclusion, the experiments showed that my hypothesis for salinity is not supported because hot water is less dense than cold water, therefore, the hot water floated on the cold water. Hot air floats and cold air sinks which creates wind so the same reasoning could be used for hot water floats and cold water sinks. The research talked about how ice is less dense than water but never directly stated that cold water was less than water also. An assumption that the same thing applied to cold water was made when creating the hypothesis. On the other hand, the results supported the hypothesis for temperature, showing how salt water would remain on the bottom or move there and fresh water would stay on the top or move there as well.
