The highest salinity would be found in what areas?
an area with high rates of evaporation
What areas would the highest salinity be found?
an area with high rates of evaporation
Where in the oceans are highest values of salinity found?
Shallow areas with low or no currents and high evaporation.
Is salinity the highest in the hot dry area?
Yes, salinity is higher in dry, hot areas because the high evaporation rate leaves behind salts dissolved in the water.
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.
Why do most oceans in hot dry climates have high salinity?
because of 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.
Does salinity of water increased by evaporation and the formation of sea ice?
Salinity of water increase by evaporation.
Why does dead sea has highest salinity?
There are several factors that the Red Sea has high salinity. The Red Sea has a high rate of evaporation and very little precipitation. It also has a limited connection with the Indian Ocean, which has lower water salinity. The Red Sea has a lack of significant rivers or streams draining into the sea.
Salinity tends to be above average?
in hot areas because there is greater evaporation so their is more salt in the water
What oceans have salt in them?
AnswerAll oceans have salt in them. The average salinity of all oceans is 35 parts per thousand. Salinity does vary according to depth and location. Areas of the ocean located near onshore river runoff typically have a lower salinity. Areas near the tropics with high evaporation rates tend to have higher salinity.
Why is salinity of the red sea over 40 percent?
The salinity of the Red Sea is high because it has a high rate of evaporation compared to precipitation. Also, there are no freshwater sources draining into the sea.
