On average what is the percent of salt in saltwater?
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of ~3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand.
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 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.

What is the salinity in the oceans?
The amount of salt in the water. Near the surface of the open oceans salinity is in general between 3.3% and 3.7%
What is a hypersaline sea?
A hypersaline sea has elevated levels of dissolved ions (salts) as compared to normal saline conditions. A hypersaline sea has about 40 parts per mil salinity and the average salinity for the oceans is about 35 parts per mil salinity.
What is the measure of dissolved salts in the oceans called?
salinity
How much saltier is ocean water than your blood?
