Salinity is lower in the bay of Bengal than in the Arabian sea why?
First off...I'm not a pro @ geography or nythin, bt I found the answer to this question online while researching on sum thing... A lot of rivers empty their fresh water into the bay of Bengal. It is found to the east of India which is frequented by rainfall. Therefore, near the coastal regions and otherwise as well, it it receives a supply of fresh water. In comparison, the Arabian sea does not have too many rivers emptying into it and there is lesser rainfall in it's region. Salinity of seas or bays or gulfs and so on depends on the region they are found in, the climate, rainfall and other water bodies that drain into them. As the bay of Bengal has a supply of fresh water while the Arabian sea circulates it's salted sea water, the bay of Bengal has a lower salinity in comparison to the Arabian sea
