Why do oceans tend to have high salinity when it is a hot or dry climate?
Water evaporates much faster in hot, dry climates which cause the ocean or sea in that area to have slightly more salinity
Do estuaries or bays have a high or low salinity?
Enclosed bays tend to have high salinity
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.
Where does salinity tend to be below average?
the dead sea
Climates tend to be moderate by large bodies of water because?
The high specific heat helps to moderate the air temperature.
Why are deserts found on the west of countries and rainforest's on the east?
This is caused by the different climates found through out the world. Countries to the west tend to have drier climates while countries to the east tend to have wetter climates.
Why do we know more about continents than oceans?
Because we tend to spend more time on the continents than in the oceans.
How does levels of salinity affect brine shrimp?
Higher levels of salinity produce brine shrimp that are smaller, but reach sexual maturity faster than those in lower levels. Also lower levels of salinity tend to allow more predators into the ecosystem.
Where to exotic species tend to cause the most problems?
in warm climates and on islands
How tropical climate effects the rise in population?
Tropical climates are more pleasant for most people than colder climates are. Because of this, areas with tropical climates tend to have higher population rates.
What is the weather of temperate oceans?
Temperate oceans appear to be more green than other oceans. Temperatures in the temperate oceans tend to fluctuate more than tropical oceans. Temperate oceans are also not as clear as tropical oceans.
How does density affect climate?
People tend to live in areas of the world that, how do you say it, have temperate climates. Not many people like to live in polar climates, or dry climates. So temperate climate zones are the way to go.
