What is the salinity level of the Indian ocean?
Surface water salinity ranges from 32 to 37 parts per 1000
What is the connection between density and salinity?
I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases
Largest waterfall in India?
Nohkalikai Falls is the tallest WATER FALL in INDIA, its height of 335 metres (1100 ft).The waterfall is located near Cherapunji, one of the wettest places on Earth.
How do lakes of India differ from each other in size and characteristics?
India has many lakes. These differ from each other in the size, and other characteristics. Most lakes are permanent; some contain water only during the rainy season, like the lakes in the basins of inland drainage of semi-arid regions. There are some of the lakes which are the result of the action of glaciers and ice sheets, while the others have been formed by wind, river action, and human activities. A meandering river across a flood plain forms cut-offs that later develop into ox-bow lakes. Spits and bars form lagoons in the coastal areas, eg the Chilika lake, the Pulicat lake, the Kolleru lake. Lakes in the region of inland drainage are sometimes seasonal; for example, the Sambhar lake in Rajasthan, which is a salt water lake. Its water is used for producing salt. Most of the fresh water lakes are in the Himalayan region. They are of glacial origin. In other words, they formed when glaciers dug out a basin, which was later filled with snowmelt. The Wular lake in Jammu and Kashmir, in contrast, is the result of the tectonic activity. It is the largest freshwater lake in India. The Dal lake, Bhimtal, Nainital, Loktak and Barapani are some other important fresh water lakes. Apart from natural lakes, the damming of the rivers for the generation of hydel power has also led to the formation of Lakes such as Guru Gobind Sagar (Bhakra Nangal Project)
What is the name of the plane in the sea at which salinity changes?
You might mean a halocline - that's when there's a great enough difference in salinity that the water separates into two phases, with a surface between them.
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 part of the water column is the saltiest?
Surface water has the highest salinity, however it is also the warmest, and because temperature has more effect on the density than the salinity, it rises to the top.
How does the amount of salt in the dead sea compare to ocean water?
The salinity in isolated seas and salt-water lakes (for example, the Dead Sea) can be considerably greater. SO there's a high salinity in the Dead Sea. :D
What types of water are lakes?
Any kind from fresh to Salt. The Caspian Sea is the larget Lake in the world...it is Salt water...Great Salt Lake another example. Lakes are not defined by salinity!
List of salline water lakes in India?
chilka lake
Salt Water Lakes In India?
luni or lake sambar
What is a measure of how salty water is?
Salinity is a measure of the saltiness of water.
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.
What is lighter warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
Cold water with high salinity
What is lightest water warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
cold water w/ high salinity
Why do oceanographers take measurements of the of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
Where in the ocean would salinity be the highest?
dead sea and red sea has the highest salinity
