The amount of salt in the water.
Near the surface of the open oceans salinity is in general between 3.3% and 3.7%
Oceans are big water bodies. Salinity is due to the presence of minerals in water.
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.
Salinity varies throughout the world's oceans though it usually ranges between 34-37%; variation can occur because of many different factors, including atmospheric conditions and surrounding oceanic currents. Generally, the highest salinity occurs where evaporation rates are highest, near subtropical highs.
Salinity and Density are related because they are both measures of the amount
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
In open ocean evaporation affects the salinity of the oceans, in closed oceans the lack of sunrays cause greater salinity levels.

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.
In any body of water; usually oceans.
i think no.
3.1-3.6% salinity
The world's oceans have a salinity of about 3.5%

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.
The salinity of the oceans remains relatively constant through the balance of inputs and outputs. Inputs include rivers carrying dissolved salts and minerals into the ocean, while outputs include evaporation and ice formation that leave behind salt. This equilibrium helps to maintain a stable salinity level in the oceans.
