It has effect on the marine life, especially in the anufacture of food.
What else can I help you with?
Does salinity have an effect on the ocean life zones?
Yes. It does.
Which process increases the salinity of the ocean?
There are different kinds of process that deeply affects the salinity of ocean water. Continental deflections, Coriolis Effect, convection current and also evaporation.
Name two factors that can effect the salinity levels of ocean water?
Biomass and temperature, erosion and mineral content.
What condition would cause the salinity of ocean water decrease?
A river flowing into the sea is causing the decrease in salinity
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
Which process does not add salts to seawater?
Storms at sea. The evaporated water falls back into the ocean with no net effect on salinity.
Is salinity high on open ocean?
In open ocean evaporation affects the salinity of the oceans, in closed oceans the lack of sunrays cause greater salinity levels.
Is your blood as salty as the ocean?
No, human blood is not as salty as the ocean. The salinity of human blood is around 0.9, while the salinity of the ocean is about 3.5.
What does not affect ocean salinity?
Rainfall does not directly affect ocean salinity, as rainwater is freshwater and dilutes the salt content in the ocean. Other factors such as evaporation, ice formation, and river input can influence ocean salinity levels.
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
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.
An increase in ocean salinity can increase what creating a current?
An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.
