Lake Assal with 34.8% percent salt concentration (up to 40% at 20 m depth), compared to 33.7 percent in the Dead Sea(often incorrectly considered the world's most saline lake) Of course, if you're including Antarctica, some of the hyper-saline ponds and lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys have a higher salinity than both of the previously mentioned bodies of water.

an area with high rates of evaporation


The highest salinity would be found in what areas?

The highest salinity levels are typically found in enclosed bodies of water with high evaporation rates, such as the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake. These areas have limited freshwater inflow and high concentrations of dissolved salts, resulting in extremely high salinity levels.

Is salinity the highest in the hot dry area?

Yes, salinity is higher in dry, hot areas because the high evaporation rate leaves behind salts dissolved in the water.


Where is the highest surface salinity found in the world ocean?

Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?

Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.

Which areas of the ocean have high salinity Which have low salinity?

Red Sea and Persian Gulf are the areas with the highest salinity. Then the areas with lowest salinity would be the polar seas (or seas near to the polar tips), and sometimes some seas near a fresh body of water. For example, the South American area near Amazon River only has an average salinity of 28 o/oo. The Baltic Sea may have an average salinity of 5 o/oo. Hope this helps!!

Where would you find the highest salinity?

Salinity varies throughout the world's oceans though it usually ranges between 34-37%; variation can occur because of many different factors, including atmospheric conditions and surrounding oceanic currents. Generally, the highest salinity occurs where evaporation rates are highest, near subtropical highs.
