What is the difference of freshwater and saltwater fishing pole?

saltwater poles tend to be larger because there are larger fish in oceans.


Is the ocean water saltier at the poles?

No, ocean water is generally not saltier at the poles. In fact, polar regions tend to have lower salinity due to the melting of ice, which dilutes the seawater. Additionally, freshwater input from rivers and precipitation can also reduce salinity in these areas. In contrast, warmer regions closer to the equator often have higher salinity due to higher evaporation rates.


Where does stormy weather tend to happen?

at the poles


Which water tend to be saltier?

due to scientists theory's yes, there is more salt. but the salt isn't actual table salt you would find, its a special kind of salt, mostly broken up coral and some other chemicals put together it contains Na (sodium) that's all i know.


Where are salty seas?

All seas and oceans are salty. Those near the Equator tend to be slightly more salty.


Does Australia have icebergs?

Australia does not have icebergs. Icebergs are large chunks of ice that break off from glaciers and float in cold oceans near the poles, primarily in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Australia's climate is too warm for icebergs to form.


When is ocean water most saline?

Ocean water is usually saltiest near the surface. High levels of evaporation at the surface cause a reduction in freshwater and thus create saltier water near the surface. This effect is most dominant in the warm tropical areas around the equator, thus these areas are saltier than in midlatitudes. Since high salinity implies denser, and thus heavier, water, one might suspect that the saltiest water sinks to the bottom. However, temperature effects tend to dominate the vertical stratification.


What is a manta?

A manta is a giant ray species that can reach 23 feet wide. They are commonly found in tropical oceans and tend to stay near coral reefs and along continental shelves.


Why do we know more about continents than oceans?

Because we tend to spend more time on the continents than in the oceans.


A fling fish habitat?

Fling fish, also known as flying fish, prefer warm tropical oceans near the surface. They are found worldwide in all major oceans, particularly in areas with strong currents and upwelling. These fish typically inhabit waters that are rich in plankton for feeding and tend to reside near coral reefs or floating seaweed.


What oceans have salt in them?

AnswerAll oceans have salt in them. The average salinity of all oceans is 35 parts per thousand. Salinity does vary according to depth and location. Areas of the ocean located near onshore river runoff typically have a lower salinity. Areas near the tropics with high evaporation rates tend to have higher salinity.


Why does the air fall at the poleS?

Air falls at the poles due to the cooling of air, which increases its density causing it to sink. In addition, high pressure systems tend to form at the poles, leading to the downward motion of air.
