What do evaporation and freezing increase in the ocean?
Salinity will be increased in the ocean when water evaporates and when it freezes.Ocean water.
What does salinity do as evaporation increases?
Salinity increases as evaporation increases.
Does evaporation raise the salinity of water?
yes, evaporation raises salinity because salt doesnt evaporate like water
What is one factor that can increase the sanlinity?
Salinity is increased by changes in salt/solute concentration. This can be caused by increases in water temperature which leads to greater solubility of salt in water or increased evaporation.
How does evaporation affects salinity?
Evaporation leaves salt behind. So as ocean water decreases, the percentage of salt increases, increasing salinity. As evaporation increases, rainfall also increases, thus it decreasing the salinity of ocean water.
What affects the salinity of ocean water?
evaporation
What increases salinity of water?
Adding more salt OR evaporation the water.
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
How would salinity change if some ocean water evaporated?
Salinity is increased.
Which is a process that decreases the salinity of seawater?
No. In fact, in semi-isolated lagoons, evaporation actually increases salinity. Evaportation, in this case, means that water is leaving the ocean in the form of water vapor. The salt is left behind.
Why do evaporation and rain affect surface salinity of ocean water?
Because the process of evaporation leaves behind salt and rain is an result of evaporation
Why does freezing and evaporation increase the salinity of ocean water?
Salt is dissolved in a smaller volume of water.
