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.
Which process increases the salinity of the ocean?
There are different kinds of process that deeply affects the salinity of ocean water. Continental deflections, Coriolis Effect, convection current and also evaporation.
What is ocean water salinity?
Salinity is defined as the total amount of solid material in grams contained in 1km of sea water and is expressed as part per thousand. Salinity affects physical property of ocean such as temperature, pressure, density, waves and currents.
Is salinity high on open ocean?
In open ocean evaporation affects the salinity of the oceans, in closed oceans the lack of sunrays cause greater salinity levels.
List three factors that affect salinity in the ocean and three factors that affect ocean temperatures. Explain how each factor affects salinity or temperatures?
Three factors are evaporation and freezing of sea water.
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 is a factor that affects salinity the in the ocean?
sheep stays sheep
What affects the oceans salinity?

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).
