Where a major river enters. Where a large glacier enters. Where an ice shelf is melting.
Upon reflection, about one half of the ocean will have a salinity less than the average.

Give three areas in the ocean where salinity may be less than average?
Around the mouth of rivers and glaciers, or where an ice shelf is melting.
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.
Which three factors are most important in determining the composition of ocean water?
temperature,salinity,and density
What are three ways that density of ocean can increase?
here are 3 ways... 1) temperature going down 2) the salinity of the water 3) ice blocks...
What are the three factors that from deep currents?
The three factors that help form deep currents are ...density,salinity,and tempature.
What are three areas where plate boundaries may be located?
Middle of the ocean floor, around the edges of the continents, and within the continents.
Which ocean is made of the southern portions of three other oceans?
The Southern Ocean is the ocean that is made up of the southern portions of the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. It surrounds Antarctica and is the youngest of the world's oceans.
What are the three ways that oceans are different from each other?
Ocean water is separated into different types: what oceanographers call "water masses", based on the meteorologists' term "air masses." Water masses are defined by their temperature and salinity balance. These water masses acquire their temperature/salinity balance at the surface and then sink down into the deeper levels of the ocean while maintaining that balance. Since this relationship is slow to degrade, it can be used to track large sections of water through the ocean from a common source.
How deep is a ocean floor if a sound wave is sent out by a ship and the reflected wave is detected six seconds later?
Water travels at about 1560 m/s* in salt water. Since the sound wave took three seconds to reach the floor, that's 4680 meters or 15,354 feet 4 inches. That's just a little deeper than the ocean-wide average (12,430 ft.) *the exact rate depends on pressure, temperature, and salinity.
What three function types within the cerebral cortex?
Brodmann areas. The three types of functional areas are association, motor and sensory areas.
