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

How do oceans or seas affect the climate of coastal areas?
One of the many ways in which the oceans affect the climate of coastal areas is by buffering temperature. Water holds heat better than air- it takes longer to heat up and cool down. Because of this, areas near the water tend to have more stable temperatures than those farther away.

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.
Why do coastal regions tend to experience more mild winters than continental regions?
because the oceans hold lots of heat
How would volcanoes affect the climate?
Depending on the emissions, volcanoes can either cause warming or cooling. Effusive eruptions of basaltic lava tend to produce carbon dioxide, which warms the climate. Explosive eruptions of rhyolitic or dacitic ash and pumice tend to produce sulfur dioxide, which causes cooling. In both cases the eruption needs to be exceptionally large to have a noticeable effect on climate.
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

Why do we know more about continents than oceans?
Because we tend to spend more time on the continents than in the oceans.

What kind of climate usually ha a high biodiversity?
Biodiversity tends to increase as you move toward the equator because temperatures tend to be warmer.
Because water has a high heat capacity areas around lakes tend to have a climate than areas farther away?
cooler
How do mountains and oceans affect tornadoes?
Mountains tend to inhibit tornado formation. They block the moisture that fuels storms and can prevent thunderstorms from organizing. Warm oceans provide warm, moist air to fuel thunderstorm which can then produce tornadoes. Cool oceans tend to stabilize the atmosphere, making strong thunderstorms less likely.
What is the general climate description of the climate region arctic?
mostly cold, with a chill breeze. . . but they tend to have warm falls.
Do oceans near the poles tend to be saltier?
The water is saltier at the poles, and less salty at the equator.
