That's the center of the earth so most of the salt goes there

∙ 12y agoThe salinity is high because of the heat there. The heat makes the water evaporate (and if you didn't know salt doesn't evaporate) causing the salt concentration to be higher.

Which condition of ocean water varies with the location and seasons?
salinity
What do evaporation and freezing increase in the ocean?
Salinity will be increased in the ocean when water evaporates and when it freezes.Ocean water.
Describe the ocean and explain how the water cycle affects the salinity of the ocean?
Hhj
What cause surface ocean water to have a higher salt content?
The salinity of ocean water depends on its location, rate of evaporation, amount of precipitation and amount of freshwater added to the ocean.
Is determined by the amount of dissolved salts in water?
Ocean salinity
Is salinity greater in surface water than deep ocean water?
yes
The average salinity of the world ocean?
Salinity of the ocean water is defined as the dissolved salt content in a body of water. The salinity of the ocean is 3.5%, the salinity increases as you approach the equator and decreases as you approach the poles.
Describe the salinity of the ocean in terms of the concentration of salts?
It is estimated that every 1000g of water contains 35g of dissolved salts.Thus,the average salinity is 35 per thousand.In general,salinity decreases towards the equator due to heavy rainfall.
How does salinity affect the density of the ocean water?
Dissolving salts in water increases the density slightly. Ocean waters have an average density about 2.5% greater than fresh water. The Dead Sea has a much higher density, somewhere roughly near 20% greater than fresh water due to its 30% salinity level.
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
Which condition of ocean water varies with the location and seasons?
salinity
Which areas of the ocean have the lowest salinity and why?
The lowest areas of salinity in an ocean are near where fresh water rivers empty into them. This is because the influx of fresh water creates an area of lower salinity compared to the remainder of the ocean.
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceangraphers can describe the?

How would salinity change if some ocean water evaporated?
Salinity is increased.
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 affects the salinity of ocean water?
evaporation
