Why is the surface of the sea not level?
salinity salinity
Why is surface salinity of an ocean higher in the subtropics than in the equatorial regions?
Evaporation is more. Rainfall is less in comparison of equatorial region. In equatorial region, insulation is not much because of clouds.
Where is salinity the lowest?
it is at its lowest when its at the surface of the water because it has low density
What is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state?
Evaporation is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state.
What is the movement of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere?
Evaporation
What lowers the salinity near the surface of the ocean?
evaporation
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
In the subtropics the saltiest water is generally at the surface, why?
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.

Does evaporation of water happen at the surface?
Evaporation occur at the surface of water.
What cause surface ocean water to have a higher salt content?
The salinity of ocean water depends on its location, rate of evaporation, amount of precipitation and amount of freshwater added to the ocean.
Why is it that the larger the surface area the higher the evaporation?
That's because evaporation occurs at the surface.
What is the relationship between surface area and rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is a process that takes place at the surface of a liquid, therefore the rate of evaporation is directly related to the surface area. Twice as much surface area will give you twice as much evaporation.
What is vaporization at the surface of a liquid that is not boiling?
Evaporation
When vaporization takes place on the surface of a liquid is called?
If vaporization takes place at the surface of a liquid, it is called evaporation. but when evaporation occurs throughout the substance it is called boiling.
What is the salinity of the Indian ocean?
Surface water salinity ranges from 32 to 37 parts per 1000
