Well, Salinity is the measure of dissolved salts and in the ocean they're already there , ( not artificial) but near a warm tropical ocean or really anywhere where there is no more water coming in, then its fine. Hope I helped

What do you call deep ocean circulation driven largely by variations in water temperature and salinity?
thermohaline
What can causes a increase in the density of the ocean water?
the amount of salinity in the water and high temperatures
What Contributes to ocean currents?
Ocean currents are generated by several environmental factors. These include wind, salinity variations, gravity, and natural events such as earthquakes.
True or false dissolved oxygen in the ocean water causes salinity?
False.
Salinity variations in the open ocean normally range from 33 parts per thousand to?
38 parts per thousand
What can causes an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What causes the formation of the two types of ocean currents?
Temperature, density, and salinity of water
What are the reasons for variations in salinity in the oceans?
Salinity can vary because of water temperature, rivers emptying into the ocean and mixing with ocean water, ice forming or melting, evaporation and precipitation. I think temperature is the biggest reason.http://wiki.answers.com/List_the_reasons_for_variations_in_salinity_in_the_various_oceans#ixzz16sZMdZIZ
Salinity in open-ocean zone?
Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water.The average ocean salinity is 35 ppt. This number varies between about 32 and 37 ppt. Rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation cause the variations. For example, the Black Sea is so diluted by river runoff, its average salinity is only 16 ppt.
The open ocean of any depth is called?
The open ocean of any depth, where animals swim or float freely is called a pelagic zone. Salinity variations in the open ocean normally ranges from 33 to 38 percent.
What causes cold deep currents to in the ocean near the poles?
Sinking of dense, cold water with high salinity :)
Which is the ocean with the lowest salinity?
Arctic ocean
