When water evaporates it leaves salt behind causing water in warmer areas that have more evaporation to have saltier water.
The Mediterranean Sea (from observation via thermal images from space) is one of the saltiest seas, also the Red Sea (to a lesser extent). Both the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake are so salty that most people find it easy to float. Lake Assal is considered the saltiest body of water outside of Antarctica.
The Northern Pacific is at the other end of the spectrum, containing relatively lower ocean salinity.
Water evaporation at phenomenal rate in warmer places causes accumulation of salt in respective area. Add to the fact that the warmer the water the higher the maximum saturation capacity and you have very salty seas. These are the main two factors of water salinity.
There are areas in the world where fresh water mixes with salt water, thus reducing the salinity. These areas include: 1) The mouths of rivers; 2) The melting ice pack, such as in the Arctic and Antarctic; and 3) Areas around Greenland, where the glaciers 'calve' off, making icebergs. This list is not all inclusive.
What else can I help you with?
What water pipe is likely to be sweaty the cold water or the hot water one?
The cold water pipe is more likely to get sweaty due to condensation forming on its surface when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cooler pipe. This is because cold surfaces are more efficient at causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water.
How long that the rock salt dissolve in water?
The time it takes for rock salt to dissolve in water depends on several factors, including the temperature of the water, the size of the salt crystals, and the amount of agitation. Generally, smaller salt crystals dissolve more quickly than larger ones. In warm water, rock salt can dissolve within a few minutes, while in cold water, it may take longer. Stirring the water can also speed up the dissolution process.
What happens when alkali metals react with cold water?
When alkali metals react with cold water, they produce hydrogen gas and form metal hydroxides. The reaction is usually more vigorous for the heavier alkali metals like sodium and potassium compared to lighter ones like lithium. Additionally, alkali metals can also form alkaline solutions in water due to the formation of hydroxides.
If you do end up in cold water due to an accident or emergency situation what is the important thing you should do?
If you end up in cold water due to an accident or emergency, it is crucial to minimize heat loss by staying as still as possible to conserve energy. Keeping your head above water to prevent hypothermia and swimming to safety when necessary are key priorities. If possible, remove wet clothes and replace them with dry ones to reduce heat loss.
Do sugar cubes dissolve faster crushed or whole in hot or cold?
Sugar cubes would dissolve faster when crushed rather than left whole, regardless of whether the water used is hot or cold. Crushing the sugar cubes increases the surface area of the sugar particles exposed to the water, allowing for quicker dissolution.
What is the difference between hot water rice and cold water rice?
Ones hot and ones cold.
What water pipe is likely to be sweaty the cold water or the hot water one?
The cold water pipe is more likely to get sweaty due to condensation forming on its surface when warm, humid air comes into contact with the cooler pipe. This is because cold surfaces are more efficient at causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water.
Which ones is flies fastest cold water bubble or hot water bubble?
I think the hot water bubble flies fastest than cold water bubble.
Why are there more fish in cold seas than warmer ones?
It's due to the higher oxygen content of the water, which supports a greater biomass
Why hot water dissolves food coloring faster than cold water?
I just did an experiment on this actually. Water molecules travel faster in hot water than in cold water. When food dye is added into hot water where the molecules are traveling faster, it mixes faster. In cold water, the particles are not traveling as fast and the food dye does not spread as fast.
What is the definition of the term 'cold ones'?
'Cold ones' could mean drinks that have been kept refrigerated. Or 'cold ones' could refer to vampires, because 'cold ones' is a label used for vampires as they are said to have unnaturally cold skin.
Do octopus live in warm warter or coled warter?
Well octopus's live in both cold and warm water, but they only live in Salt water. Octopus's that live in warm water are usually smaller than the ones who live in cold water.
What are the similarities between cold forests and hot forests?
Ones hot, Ones cold.
Why is the taller water fountain colder?
Tall water fountains are normally colder because elephants use the material in shorter ones when they reproduce which causes the greenhouse effect in shorter ones so taller ones just are ice cold like the rockies.
What metals don't react with cold water?
Metals like copper, silver, and gold do not react with cold water because they are less reactive. This is due to their position in the reactivity series, where they do not displace hydrogen from water.
What are some healthy but salty snack options for diabetics?
There are many different snacks that are available for diabetics. Some of the more popular ones are carrot sticks, mozzarella sticks, whole grain crackers and for a saltier snack that is still healthy is pumpkin seeds.
Are cold ones meant to suck blood?
cold ones are another name for vampires, so yes.
