Which areas of the ocean have the lowest salinity and why?
The lowest areas of salinity in an ocean are near where fresh water rivers empty into them. This is because the influx of fresh water creates an area of lower salinity compared to the remainder of the ocean.
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!!
Lowest area in Maine?
Sea level at the Atlantic Ocean.
Why do oceans tend to have high salinity when it is a hot or dry climate?
Water evaporates much faster in hot, dry climates which cause the ocean or sea in that area to have slightly more salinity
What are the four things that affect ocean's salinity?
Salinity is affected by temperature of the water, amount of salt per area, how cool it is, and the amount of water per area. If it's hot, the water will evaporate leaving more salt behind. The more salt you add, of course you will have a higher salinity. If it is cold, ice forms and pushes out the salt into the water below. And if you add more water, there will be more water to hold the salt, thus lowering the salinity.
What is the lowest elevation in Scotland?
The lowest elevation in Scotland is sea level, which is along the coast of the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
What is the zone area of ocean shore between the lowest tide and the highest tide?
neritic zone
Compared to a nearby inland area a land area next to the ocean will most likely have what?
cooler summers
In which area are volcanoes more likely to happen?
they are most likely to happen on the plate boundaries which are located at the edge of the continents. (or some are in the ocean)
Which compartment in chloroplasts is likely to have the lowest pH?
The inside of the thylakoid disks will have the lowest pH. This is because of the pumping of protons into this area. Hydrogen ions will increase which is a decrease in pH.
What is the average precipitation of the benthic zone?
please answer!!!! The neritic zone is the very shallow area near the coast- that's all I can help with for now!!!!Answerplease answer!!!! The neritic zone is the very shallow area near the coast- that's all I can help with for now!!!!
What is a ocean?
An ocean (from Ωκεανός, Okeanos (Oceanus) in Greek) is a major body of saline water, and a principal component of the hydrosphere. Approximately 71% of the Earth's surface (an area of some 361 million square kilometers) is covered by ocean, a continuous body of water that is customarily divided into several principal oceans and smaller seas. More than half of this area is over 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) deep. Average oceanic salinity is around 35 parts per thousand (ppt) (3.5%), and nearly all seawater has a salinity in the range of 31 to 38 ppt.
