rain, snow, and melting ice add fresh water to the ocean, lowering the salinity there. Salinity is also lower near the mouths of large rivers. These rivers empty great amounts of fresh water into the ocean.

What does salinity do as evaporation increases?
Salinity increases as evaporation increases.
What happens to water if the salinity increases?
The heat capacity and freezing point decrease, evaporation slows, and osmotic pressure increases.
In general the density of sea water increases as?
salinity increases and temperature decreases....
What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
In general he density of sea water increases as?
depth and salinity increases density of sea water increases
The density of sea water increases as?
the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases
What is the major element that increases the salinity of seawater?
Sodium, Na
Lower salinity increases the conductivity of sea water?
yes it does
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 the connection between density and salinity?
I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases
What increases salinity of water?
Adding more salt OR evaporation the water.
When does a deep current form?
Deep currents form when salinity increases.
