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.
What condition would cause the salinity of ocean water decrease?
A river flowing into the sea is causing the decrease in salinity
Name two factors that can effect the salinity levels of ocean water?
Biomass and temperature, erosion and mineral content.
What effect do low and high salinity have on the movement of ocean water?
Low salinity, often found in areas with significant freshwater input, can reduce water density, causing it to rise and potentially leading to less vertical mixing. High salinity increases water density, promoting sinking and contributing to deeper ocean currents. Together, these variations in salinity drive thermohaline circulation, which plays a crucial role in global ocean currents and climate regulation. Thus, salinity influences both the stratification and movement of ocean water.
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.
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
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.
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.
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.
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
What are three things that effect currents?
Three factors that affect ocean currents are wind patterns, the Earth’s rotation (Coriolis effect), and differences in water temperature and salinity. Wind drives surface currents, while the Coriolis effect alters their direction based on the hemisphere. Additionally, variations in temperature and salinity create density differences in water, influencing deeper currents in the ocean. Together, these elements shape the complex movement of ocean waters.
