According to Alfred Wegener, all the major continents formed one giant supercontinent, called Pangaea. About 200 million years ago, the supercontinent Pangaea began to rift.
Salinity is directly positively related to seawater density.On an average, seawater density increases with increasing salinity and vice versa.E.g. Density of pure water is 1.00 g/cm3 and density of water with 35% salinity is 1.028 g/cm3.
