What are the salinity differences of cold and warm water - fresh and salt water?
Fresh water tends to have no salt content. Fresh water is not ionized. Salt water is ionized with sodium chloride (salt). The average salinity of the oceans is roughly 35 ppt (parts per thousand).
How much salinity is in fresh water?
I don't know how much salinity is in fresh water.
What is the difference in salinity between salt water and fresh water environment?
To be blunt, salt water has a lot more salinity than fresh water.
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.

What are the characteristics of fresh water?
it has no salt and has low salinity.....
What increases the salinity?
rain, snow, and melting ice add fresh water to the ocean, lowering the salinity there. Salinity is also lower near the mouths of large rivers. These rivers empty great amounts of fresh water into the ocean.
What is the salinity of a river?
The salinity of the Tigris River is between 0.130-0.191. It varies along the river. Salinity rates have been rising which is a cause for concern.
How do the properties of sea water differ from does in fresh water?
salt water has salinity while fresh water does not
What best describes the change in salinity in an estuary at low tide?
Salinity falls as the out flowing tide brings in more fresh river water.
What is one factor that decreases salinity in seawater?
Salinity in oceans decrease when near a river because the river adds fresh water, which lowers the percentage of salt in the water, causing the salinity to decrease.
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.
