How how does the water cycle affect the salinity?

Answer 1

By drying up all water systems under and on the ground with salt, this then has an effect on farmers because they cant water there crops because salt has gotten in to the water, and then the plants will dry up even more.

Answer 2

Salinity also has an affect on ocean currents. Near Iceland, if the ocean is not salty enough, the water can't get dense enough to sink. As global warming melts ice in places like greenland, the water gets fresher and sinks slower. this could slow or stop the gulfstream, or perhaps just redirect it

Answer 3

When salinity has affected a landscape,

warning signs appear. These include

sick or dying trees and declining

vegetation, the colonisation by salttolerant weed-like plants such as sea

barley grass and spiny rush, salty bare

patches where all of the vegetation has

died, and saline pools in creek beds.

As salinity impacts on any remaining

native vegetation and the wildlife

that depends on it for survival, the

loss of biodiversity escalates.

Salinity also reduces the productivity

of crops and the sustainability of

agriculture. It affects the health of

our rivers and streams, in extreme

cases the water may be too salty

for animals and humans to drink.

Where there are buildings, fences,

roads and other infrastructure, they

can be damaged by saline soil and

water. Foundations can crumble, and

roads degrade, increasing the risks of

accidents and causing large repair bills.

Salinity and its related problems have

the potential to affect all Australians,

whether they live in the country or in

the city. Many people feel that salinity

is the most serious environmental

threat that Australia faces.

Answer 4

salinity affects the plants ability to draw water from the soil. too much salinity prevents the plant from getting any water and it dies. It also can get underneath houses and make them rot.

Answer 5

When normal water turns into salty water that is found in the ocean

Answer 6

Water comprises of salts and minerals. Water cycle brings minerals back from air.
