Which areas of the ocean have high salinity Which have low salinity?
Skoonerd
Red Sea and Persian Gulf are the areas with the highest salinity. Then the areas with lowest salinity would be the polar seas (or seas near to the polar tips), and sometimes some seas near a fresh body of water. For example, the South American area near Amazon River only has an average salinity of 28 o/oo. The Baltic Sea may have an average salinity of 5 o/oo. Hope this helps!!

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.
In the subtropics the saltiest water is generally at the surface, why?
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.
Which ocean has low salinity?
artic
Where in the oceans are highest values of salinity found?
Shallow areas with low or no currents and high evaporation.
True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
What is lighter warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
Cold water with high salinity
Do estuaries or bays have a high or low salinity?
Enclosed bays tend to have high salinity
What is lightest water warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
cold water w/ high salinity
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
Does fresh water have high or low salinity?

Can fish live in the ocean?
No, the vast majority of Freshwater Fish would not be able to deal with the high salinity of ocean water and would die in the ocean. The same with Saltwater Fish, the vast majority would not be able to deal with the low salinity of fresh water and would die in a lake or river.
Can all fish live in the ocean?
No, the vast majority of freshwater fish would not be able to deal with the high salinity of ocean water and would die in the ocean. The same with saltwater fish, the vast majority would not be able to deal with the low salinity of fresh water and would die in a lake or river.
