What else can I help you with?
If salinity decreased at the poles the water near the poles would?
decrease in density and become water vapor
Why would there generally be a higher salinity near the north and the south poles near the glaciers?
Because of the solidification of the water under low temperatures. The water is "turned" into ice, leaving the salt behind. So the salt is left in the water, with the freshwater turned into ice floating on top. If the glaciers melt, the salinity will decline, because this new freshwater will dilute the salty waters.
Would water freezing at the poles make the remaining water more or less salty?
When water freezes at the poles, the ice that forms is primarily freshwater, as salt is excluded from the ice crystal structure. This process increases the salinity of the surrounding seawater because the remaining liquid water has a higher concentration of salt. Therefore, as ice forms, the remaining water becomes more salty.
Why photosynthesis cannot take place in a boiled sea water?
Boiling sea water would cause the salt to become more concentrated as the water evaporates, leading to a hypertonic environment that would be harmful to the plant cells involved in photosynthesis. The increased salinity would disrupt the balance of water and mineral uptake, affecting the plant's ability to photosynthesize effectively.
Is a halocline an abrupt rapid change in salinity?
Yes, as changes in salinty affects the density of sea water, another of putting it would be that a Halocline is simply a region below the surface of a body of water where there is a significant increase or decrease in density.
If salinity decreased at the poles the water near the poles would?
decrease in density and become water vapor
How would salinity change if some ocean water evaporated?
Salinity is increased.
If salinity increases what would the water near the poles do?
increase in density, so it would sink more rapidly plato;)
Would salinity increase or decrease in an estuary during spring floods?
Salinity would decrease in an estuary during spring floods due to the influx of freshwater from increased runoff and precipitation. The dilution effect of the additional freshwater entering the estuary would lower the overall salinity levels.
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
What conditions would causes more salinity?
Conditions such as high evaporation rates, limited rainfall, and proximity to saltwater bodies can lead to increased salinity in water bodies. Human activities like agricultural runoff, industrial discharge, and saltwater intrusion can also contribute to elevated salinity levels.
What will happen to salinity if the depth of the ocean increases?
There are a number of things that could happen to the salinity of an ocean if it's depth increased. The salinity would likely also increase.

Does warm water have higher salinity than cold water?
Water salinity describes the amount of salty minerals dissolved in a sample of water. It would therefore make no difference whether the water is warm or cold, since you would have the same amount of salt dissolved in the water per cm3 of water. Salinity would change if you added more water, or if the water was so hot that some of it evaporates, leaving all the dissolved solids behind, but decreasing the amount of water it is dissolved in.
Would water freezing at the poles make the remaining water more or less salty?
When water freezes at the poles, the ice that forms is primarily freshwater, as salt is excluded from the ice crystal structure. This process increases the salinity of the surrounding seawater because the remaining liquid water has a higher concentration of salt. Therefore, as ice forms, the remaining water becomes more salty.
What is the connection between density and salinity?
I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases
What would increase the salinity of sea water?
Decreasing the temperature, evaporating water, or adding more salt.
