Incomplete mixing of fresher and saltier waters.
Salt water is denser than fresh, so fresh water can actually float on saltier water for quite a while.
Oceanographers can determine ocean currents, density variations, and the distribution of marine organisms by using the temperature and salinity of ocean water. These properties influence the movement of water masses and the distribution of marine life in different parts of the ocean.
Seawater denssity will increase as salinity increases. A less significant increase can result from temperature variations (colder is denser until freezing starts). Even smaller changes would occur with depth as the seawater is slightly compressible. As density is measured as mass/unit volume local gravity does not enter into the process.
Seawater's density varies by temperature and salinity. I.e., cold water is more dense than warm water, and water with a higher salinity (more dissolved salt) is less dense than water with a lower salinity.
In general, as you descend deeper into the ocean: temperature decreases, salinity tends to increase due to evaporation and freezing processes, and density rises due to the combined effects of temperature and salinity variations. These properties play a crucial role in shaping the ocean's circulation patterns and influencing marine life distribution.
Salinity refers to the concentration of salt in water. Salinity typically increases with depth in oceans due to the processes of evaporation and freezing which leave behind salt in the water, as well as the mixing of water masses within the ocean.
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.
thermohaline
Mountains and variations occur due to the land moving and changing gradually over time. Mountains and variations can effect the way that land sits and moves.
Salinity differences can create a current through a process called thermohaline circulation. This occurs when variations in water density due to differences in temperature and salinity cause water to move in response to gravity. In regions where water becomes denser due to higher salinity, it sinks and creates a flow towards areas of lower salinity, resulting in a current.

The average salinity range for a coral reef typically falls between 30 to 40 parts per thousand (ppt). This salinity level is crucial for coral health, as corals are sensitive to changes in salinity. Variations outside this range can negatively impact coral growth and overall reef ecosystems. Thus, stable salinity is essential for maintaining the biodiversity that coral reefs support.
It mostly occurs in Australia due to salty rivers or salty water
Torrid
Salinity can vary because of water temperature, rivers emptying into the ocean and mixing with ocean water, ice forming or melting, evaporation and precipitation. I think temperature is the biggest reason.http://wiki.answers.com/List_the_reasons_for_variations_in_salinity_in_the_various_oceans#ixzz16sZMdZIZ
Check the meaning of Salinity- I think you have the wrong word. Salinity means how much salt. Senility- is were you get old and your brain functions do not work as they should. It can happen as early as 50 or as late as 80 most common in the late 70's.
