How does the amount of salt in the dead sea compare to ocean water?
The salinity in isolated seas and salt-water lakes (for example, the Dead Sea) can be considerably greater. SO there's a high salinity in the Dead Sea. :D
What seas are easiest to swim in?
The higher the salinity of the water the easier it is to float - the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Great Salt Lake.
What is a palaeosalinity?
A palaeosalinity is the salinity of the seas in the geological past.
What factors affects salinity?
There are several factors that affect salinity. Some of the main factors include evaporation and precipitation which will affect the salinity of oceans and seas.
Which areas of the ocean have high salinity Which have low salinity?
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!!
How salty are all the seas?
The world's oceans have a salinity of about 3.5%
Does chloride concentration increase with the seas depth?
Yes. Chloride concentration increases with the seas depth. This is because chloride increases the salinity of the water. The more saline the water, the denser it becomes. Dense water, even if it is slightly denser, tends to sink below.
Which sea is it easy to float pacific or Atlantic and why?
The Atlantic and Pacific are oceans, not "seas". The salinity is about the same, so there isn't much difference in being able to float. The Dead Sea has a very high salinity, and it's very easy for people to float there. Same with the Great Salt Lake.
Is the dead sea one of the seven seas?
no
Why dead sea is called the dead sea?
Historically, many large bodies of water, especially navigable ones, were called "seas." There are notably the Caspian Sea and Aral Sea, both large lakes. The Dead Sea is called "dead" for the lack of fish or other marine life, due to the extreme salinity of the water. For saline content, it is the third most concentrated body of water on Earth, and the most accessible.
Give example of lakes of large extent which are called seas?
Caspian, Dead, Aral, Black seas.
