What is the salinity level of the Indian ocean?
Surface water salinity ranges from 32 to 37 parts per 1000
In which ocean do equatorial currents flow?
The warm, low salinity waters from Pacific are transported into Indian Ocean's South Equatorial Current.
Which is the ocean with the lowest salinity?
Arctic ocean
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
Which condition of ocean water varies with the location and seasons?
salinity
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.
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
Which areas of the ocean have the lowest salinity and why?
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.
An increase in ocean salinity can increase what creating a current?
An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.
Is the Indian ocean the biggest ocean on the earth?
No, the Atlantic ocean is the saltiest of the oceans.
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 salinity change if some ocean water evaporated?
Salinity is increased.
