On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%
The salinity of human blood is 0.9%.
So sea water is roughly 3.5 times as salty as blood.

What is saltier the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean?
Before and after I am done urinating in Mediterranean beaches, the water is much saltier than the Atlantic due to the fact that the Mediterranean loses more water to evaporation than it receives from rivers.
Normal Saline what is the classification?
i just want to know the classification of normal saline?It is just a 0.9% solution of table salt (sodium chloride) dissolved in water. By comparison, ocean water is about 3.5% which is much saltier.
What does it mean when the RBC's were placed into a solution and crenation occurred?
The solution was saltier than the blood. Water leaves the blood causing the cells to become like prunes or crenated. If the opposite were true, the cells would busrt from too much water.
Can swimmers float more easily in a fresh water lake or in an ocean?
It is easier to swim in the sea, as it is salt water as aoposed to fresh water sea water is also much saltier then water in a saltwater pool. that makes the sea water denser and the swimmer comparatively lighter.
How does evaporation also make water saltier?
Evaporation - removes water... leaving behind salt crystals. The less water there is - the greater the concentration of salt.
Is the ocean saltier or the dead sea?
The dead sea is so salty absolutely nothing lives in it, you cannot swim in it either, only float a little. So to answer your question the Dead sea is much more salty than any other ocean or body of water on this earth!
Can seawater satisfy thirst?
yes is way better for your system then fresh water ______________________________________________ No this is from a differant person.....no salt water cannot quench your thirst. you would be more thirstier. I think the first answer is right. salt water is better than regular water when you're thirsty.
List the reasons for variations in salinity in the various oceans?
Salinity can vary because of water temperature, rivers emptying into the ocean and mixing with ocean water, ice forming or melting, evaporation and precipitation. I think temperature is the biggest reason.
What is the factor that can increase the salinity in seawater?
The salinity is basically how much salt is in the ocean. It increases in sub tropical places because there's not a lot of rain and more evaporation. The water evaporates and the salt stays behind thus making the water saltier. The salinity decreases in places more near the equator because it is always raining and that fresh rain dilutes the salt. It is also less salty near the coast because of the freshwater runoff "Seawater".
How much fresh water is in the ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is salty, there is no fresh water in it.
How much fresh water different from ocean water?
fresh water doesnt have saltinity in it but, ocean water does.
Is the Great Salt Lake saltier than the Pacific Ocean?
The Great Salt Lake is so salty because it does not have an outlet and rivers are constantly bringing small amounts of salt. The water in the lake evaporates and leaves the salt behind to accumulate.
