Desalination does not directly affect the salinity of the ocean, as the vast volume of seawater is not significantly impacted by the relatively small amount of water that is desalinated. However, the brine left over from desalination processes, if not properly managed, can increase salinity in the immediate area where it is discharged, potentially affecting local marine ecosystems.

How do manganese nodules affect the salinity of ocean water?

Manganese nodules do not directly affect the salinity of ocean water. Salinity is primarily influenced by factors such as evaporation, precipitation, and inputs from rivers and hydrothermal vents. While manganese nodules can impact the distribution of minerals in the ocean floor, they do not play a significant role in altering the overall salinity of the water.
