Salinity is defined as the total amount of solid material in grams contained in 1km of sea water and is expressed as part per thousand. Salinity affects physical property of ocean such as temperature, pressure, density, waves and currents.
salinity
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
salinity
Salinity of the ocean water is defined as the dissolved salt content in a body of water. The salinity of the ocean is 3.5%, the salinity increases as you approach the equator and decreases as you approach the poles.
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.
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceangraphers can describe the?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
Salinity is increased.

There is 3.5% salinity of salt in one gallon of ocean water. Now you divide that by 16, which is 0.21875. So there is 0.21875% salinity of salt in one cup of ocean water. Mathematics can really pay off!!! Good for you if you were interested in the salinity of salt in one cup of ocean water!!!:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Oceanographers measure the salinity of the ocean by hand held refractometer, hydrometer, and conductivity meter.
