When Gina was 10, she swam in the ocean for the first time. She remembers the feeling of kicking her feet, slicing her arms through the water, tasting the tangy salt water, floating, and learning from her father that salt water is more dense than fresh water, which makes floating easier. Which element is a semantic memory?

The fact that Salt water is more dense than fresh water. That is a semantic memory.

Explanation:

Semantic memory is a type of explicit memory (along with episodic memory). Semantic memory stores factual information. For instance, you know the concept of what a car is (semantic memory), but you have memories of the day you bought your first car, and all the feelings you had that day (episodic memory).
