Specific Heat Capacity: The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1g (1cm3) of water by 1oC (1K).
Density: The mass of a fixed volume of a substance (density=mass/volume).
Thermohaline Circulation: Sinking or rising of water caused by differences in temperature and concentration of dissolved salts (particularly halides).
Scientific Model: An idea that allows us to create explanations of how we think some part of the world works. A model may be based on mathematical patterns and can be used to make precise predictions about the effect of changes in conditions.
