Sea ice tends to concentrate salinity.
What else can I help you with?
What waters near antarctica with the combination of the lowest sea temperatures and highest salinity and determine the approximate density of these waters?

Why do narwhals live in the Antarctic?

What types of seals are in Antarctic waters?
You can find both Leopard Seals and Weddell Seals in Antarctic waters.
Why is the Antarctic Bottom Water so dense?
Antarctic Bottom Water is dense because it forms in the frigid waters around Antarctica, where the cold temperatures cause the water to become very cold and salty. This combination of low temperature and high salinity makes the water denser than surrounding waters, causing it to sink to the ocean floor and flow towards the equator.

No.
What is the salinity of the midnight zone?

How would you explain that a lower then average salinity is found i coastal waters?
Coastal waters have a lower salinity due to the vast amount of freshwater runoff pouring into the sea from rivers and streams. PM
