Lake Assal with 34.8% percent salt concentration (up to 40% at 20 m depth), compared to 33.7 percent in the Dead Sea(often incorrectly considered the world's most saline lake) Of course, if you're including Antarctica, some of the hyper-saline ponds and lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys have a higher salinity than both of the previously mentioned bodies of water.

The highest salinity would be found in what areas?
an area with high rates of evaporation
What areas would the highest salinity be found?
an area with high rates of evaporation
What ecosystem has the highest level of salinity?
The marine ecosystem has highest level of salinity.
Which lakes in India has the highest water salinity?
sambhar lake has the highest water salinity in India
Is salinity the highest in the hot dry area?
Yes, salinity is higher in dry, hot areas because the high evaporation rate leaves behind salts dissolved in the water.
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?
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.
Where is the highest salinity found on earth?
In regards to body of water, the highest amount on salinity can be found in Lake Don Juan in Antarctica.
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!!
What is the highest open ocean salinity?
37
Which part of the ocean has the highest salinity?
the bottom part
Where in the ocean would salinity be the highest?
dead sea and red sea has the highest salinity
Where would you find the highest 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.
