What is the highest open ocean salinity?
37
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
What is the average salinity of the open ocean?
35 ppt
What can causes a increase in the density of the ocean water?
the amount of salinity in the water and high temperatures
Suppose the salinity of surface ocean water is high in a particular place what might you infer about the area's rates of evaporation?
If the salinity of surface ocean water is high in a particular place, it suggests that there is high evaporation rates in that area. As water evaporates, it leaves behind salt, increasing the salinity of the remaining water.
The salinity of ocean water is due to high concentrations of?
The salinity of ocean water is primarily due to high concentrations of dissolved salts, such as sodium and chloride. Other substances like magnesium, calcium, and sulfate also contribute to the overall salinity of the oceans. Processes like evaporation, precipitation, and volcanic activity can influence the salinity levels in different regions of the ocean.
What type of pattern do deep ocean currents?
Cold and High Salinity k12 question.
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.
Why is ocean ocean water salinity greatly reduced at the mouths of the amazon Congo and Mississippi rivers?
Because of the high discharge of freshwater
What is the range of salinity of surface waters in the open ocean?
33 to 37 grams of salt per kilogram of seawater
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
Why does the red sea have high salinity?
There are several factors that the Red Sea has high salinity. The Red Sea has a high rate of evaporation and very little precipitation. It also has a limited connection with the Indian Ocean, which has lower water salinity. The Red Sea has a lack of significant rivers or streams draining into the sea.
