What else can I help you with?
Which pair of factors would cause salinity to increase?
evaporation and freezing of sea water
Does salinity of water increased by evaporation and the formation of sea ice?
Salinity of water increase by evaporation.
What could cause the salinity of a sea to increase?
an increase in evaporation
Where would the lowest density of sea water be found?
The lowest density of sea water is typically found in the surface waters in tropical regions, where there is high temperature and low salinity. This is because warmer water is less dense than colder water, and water with lower salinity is less dense than water with higher salinity.
What cause surface ocean water to have a higher salt content?
The main reasons for higher salt content in surface ocean water are evaporation and formation of sea ice. As water evaporates, salt is left behind, causing an increase in salinity. In regions where sea ice forms, the salt is expelled, further increasing the salinity of the remaining water.
Why does the Dead Sea's salinity increase every year?
ithnkts beacouse of the rain water and all of the non living thigs that live there
Is a halocline an abrupt rapid change in salinity?
Yes, as changes in salinty affects the density of sea water, another of putting it would be that a Halocline is simply a region below the surface of a body of water where there is a significant increase or decrease in density.
What is the teperature of salt water?
Saltwater does not have one definite salinity - for instance the salinity of the water in the Dead Sea is different to that of the Atlantic. Indeed the salinity of the sea itself can vary.
Why sea water and river water taste are different?
River water has a higher salinity, which means there is a lot of salt in the water. In the sea, however, the salt sinks to the bottom of the ocean, so the sea water has a lower salinity.
What physical conditions create high salinity water in the Red Sea and low salinity water in the Baltic Sea?
The Red Sea receives little rain fall and has high evaporation rates resulting in high-salinity water. The Baltic Sea contains low-salinity water as a result of abundant freshwater runoff from the surrounding land.
What percent of salinity is sea water?
70% to 82%
Where salinity is higher?
Salinity is higher in areas with high evaporation rates, such as warm, arid regions and shallow seas like the Red Sea or the Persian Gulf. Additionally, salinity tends to increase at river mouths where seawater mixes with freshwater, especially in estuaries with limited water exchange. In polar regions, salinity can also be elevated beneath sea ice, where the surrounding water becomes saltier as ice forms.
