The salinity of ocean water is due to high concentrations of?
Sodium chloride
Does the Mediterranean Sea have a higher salt content than the Atlantic Ocean?
The farther east you go in the Mediterranean the salty it gets, this is due to evaporation, and the incoming current from the Atlantic.
Why is the Mediterranean sea so salty?
Like all seas, rivers carry bits of sedimentary rock down them to the sea. Salt as you may well know is in this rock. The mediterreanean is probably saltier than others for a few reasons: * Higher salt content rocks & soil * More rivers going to the sea
What is the more effective salt in increasing salinity among salts?
Salinity is due principally to sodium chloride.
Ultraviolet rays are potentially harmful to us primarily due to their?
d. intensity
What does the salinity in the Dead Sea due to the organism living there?

Describe the oceans and explain how the water cycle affects the salinity of the ocean?
Oceans are big water bodies. Salinity is due to the presence of minerals in water.
What country in Africa does not have a Mediterranean climate?
Kenya does not have a Mediterranean climate. Its climate is diverse, with coastal regions experiencing a tropical climate, while the interior areas have a more temperate climate due to high elevation.
Explain how the salinity of water in polar regions varies seasonally?
Surface salinity in polar regions varies seasonally due to the formation and melting of sea ice.
How would the high salinity of great salt lake effect the way objects float in it?
Give a higher density to the water due to the salt content which causes object to float higher.
An object floats in sea water more readily because of sea water's?
Density. The amount of salt and minerals (salinity) increases the water's density and affects the ability of an object to sink in saltwater - for example, it is nearly impossible to sink if you're swimming in the Great Salt Lake in Utah due to the high salinity of the lake. The higher the salinity content, the harder it is to sink an object.
