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 does salinity do as evaporation increases?
Salinity increases as evaporation increases.
What affects the oceans salinity?
Water
What affects oceans salinity?
Water
What happens to water if the salinity increases?
The heat capacity and freezing point decrease, evaporation slows, and osmotic pressure increases.
Describe the oceans and explain how the water cycle affects the salinity of the ocean?
Oceans are big water bodies. Salinity is due to the presence of minerals in water.
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 the connection between density and salinity?
I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases
What is the measure of dissolved salts in the oceans called?
salinity
What factors affects salinity?
There are several factors that affect salinity. Some of the main factors include evaporation and precipitation which will affect the salinity of oceans and seas.
In general the density of sea water increases as?
salinity increases and temperature decreases....
What causes the density of seawater to increase?
The density of seawater increases if salinity increases.
