Arctic ocean
What is the average salinity in the oceans?
The average salinity of seawater is 35 parts per thousand (or ppt).
In what contienent is the saltiest body of water?
I think that it is probably somewhere in the tropics. I know that the average ocean salinity (or the amount of salt in that body of water) is around 35ppt.
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceanographers can determine the?
density
What is the average salinity of the open ocean?
35 ppt
On average how does the salinity of the Arctic Ocean in the winter compare to its salinity in the summer?
the salinity is 103967 per liter to 235356 per liter btw this is wrong
The average ocean salinity is less than 4 percent?
True
The average ocean salinity is less than 4.?
True

How much saltier is ocean water than your blood?
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% The salinity of human blood is 0.9%. So sea water is roughly 3.5 times as salty as blood.
What are three areas in the ocean where salinity may be less than average?
Where a major river enters. Where a large glacier enters. Where an ice shelf is melting. Upon reflection, about one half of the ocean will have a salinity less than the average.
What is hypersaline?
Hypersaline refers to a body of water that has about 40 parts per mil salinity which is much higher than the salinity for average ocean water which is about 35 parts per mil salinity.
Salinity in open-ocean zone?
Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water.The average ocean salinity is 35 ppt. This number varies between about 32 and 37 ppt. Rainfall, evaporation, river runoff, and ice formation cause the variations. For example, the Black Sea is so diluted by river runoff, its average salinity is only 16 ppt.
What is the percentage of dissolved salt in the world's ocean?
The salinity of sea waters is approx. 3,5 %.
What is the percentage of the world's ocean is dissolved salt?
The salinity of sea waters is approx. 3,5 %.
Which is the ocean with the lowest salinity?
