What are the characteristics of fresh water?
it has no salt and has low salinity.....
In the subtropics the saltiest water is generally at the surface, why?
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.
What best describes the change in salinity in an estuary at low tide?
Salinity falls as the out flowing tide brings in more fresh river water.
Places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinty
Which condition of ocean water varies with the location and seasons?
salinity
What is lighter warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
Cold water with high salinity
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
Which ocean has low salinity?
artic
Do estuaries or bays have a high or low salinity?
Enclosed bays tend to have high salinity
What is lightest water warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
cold water w/ high salinity

What happens to high salinity water wean it is in the same area as low salinity water?
What happens is, the high salinity water (hyper tonic solution), mixes with the low salinity water (Hypo tonic solution), and eventually the sodium and chloride ions will slowly move into the lower salt water, and create a uniformly salty water.
What best describes the change in salinity in an estuary at low tide?
Salinity falls as the out flowing tide brings in more fresh river water.
Where is salinity the lowest?
it is at its lowest when its at the surface of the water because it has low density
