its 20 ppt (parts per thousand)
the salinity is 103967 per liter to 235356 per liter btw this is wrong
The ocean with the lowest salinity is the Arctic Ocean. This is due to factors such as extensive melting of ice and low evaporation rates, which dilute the salt concentration in the water.
The Arctic Ocean's salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans. Objects would be more buoyant in the Atlantic.
Areas near the poles like the Arctic Ocean will have the lowest salinity
The average ocean salinity is around 3.5%. It is typically measured in parts per thousand (ppt) or in PSU (practical salinity units), with most oceans having a salinity close to this average value.
35 ppt
siberian and canadian
Salinity of the ocean water is defined as the dissolved salt content in a body of water. The salinity of the ocean is 3.5%, the salinity increases as you approach the equator and decreases as you approach the poles.
True
The salinity of the Great Salt Lake varies, but is on average about 12%.
Where a major river enters. Where a large glacier enters. Where an ice shelf is melting. Upon reflection, about one half of the ocean will have a salinity less than the average.
No, high evaporation rates in subtropical regions typically lead to higher salinity in surface ocean waters. As water evaporates, it leaves behind salts and other dissolved substances, concentrating them in the remaining water. This results in elevated salinity levels, contrary to the idea of lower-than-average salinity.
