What else can I help you with?
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
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
What is the type of water has a very low salinity content when compared to brackish and the ocean?
Fresh Water
True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
Do places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Yes, yes they do!!
What happens to high salinity water wean it is in the same area as low salinity water?
What happens is, the high salinity water (hyper tonic solution), mixes with the low salinity water (Hypo tonic solution), and eventually the sodium and chloride ions will slowly move into the lower salt water, and create a uniformly salty water.
What best describes the change in salinity in an estuary at low tide?
Salinity falls as the out flowing tide brings in more fresh river water.
What are the characteristics of fresh water?
Fresh water is characterized by low salinity levels, typically less than 0.5 parts per thousand. It is essential for sustaining life and is found in lakes, rivers, groundwater, and glaciers. Fresh water is a vital resource for drinking, agriculture, and various industrial activities.
In the subtropics the saltiest water is generally at the surface, why?
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.
What physical conditions create high salinity water in the Red Sea and low salinity water in the Baltic Sea?
The Red Sea receives little rain fall and has high evaporation rates resulting in high-salinity water. The Baltic Sea contains low-salinity water as a result of abundant freshwater runoff from the surrounding land.
Do estuaries or bays have a high or low salinity?
Enclosed bays tend to have high salinity
