Which process does not add salts to seawater?
Storms at sea. The evaporated water falls back into the ocean with no net effect on salinity.
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 effects do you expect on the oceans salinity near a desert?
near the desert(30 degrese latitude) more water is evaporated than returned to the ocean by rainfall or rivers\canals.thereforth the ocean salinity near the deserts would be higher than most other latitudes
What is salinity and how does salinity change with depth?
Salinity refers to the concentration of salt in water. Salinity typically increases with depth in oceans due to the processes of evaporation and freezing which leave behind salt in the water, as well as the mixing of water masses within the ocean.
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
Why does the ocean water get saltier after evaporation?
If water is evaporated salt remain in the ocean.
Which areas of the ocean have the lowest salinity and why?
The lowest areas of salinity in an ocean are near where fresh water rivers empty into them. This is because the influx of fresh water creates an area of lower salinity compared to the remainder of the ocean.
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceangraphers can describe the?

True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
What affects the salinity of ocean water?
evaporation
How much water in the water cycle is evaporated from the ocean?
