What is the salinity level of the Indian ocean?
Surface water salinity ranges from 32 to 37 parts per 1000
In which ocean do equatorial currents flow?
The warm, low salinity waters from Pacific are transported into Indian Ocean's South Equatorial Current.
The salinity of the ocean?
You could increase the salinity of the ocean by adding salt or removing water (ie: by evaporation).
Is salinity high on open ocean?
In open ocean evaporation affects the salinity of the oceans, in closed oceans the lack of sunrays cause greater salinity levels.
Is your blood as salty as the ocean?
No, human blood is not as salty as the ocean. The salinity of human blood is around 0.9, while the salinity of the ocean is about 3.5.
What does not affect ocean salinity?
Rainfall does not directly affect ocean salinity, as rainwater is freshwater and dilutes the salt content in the ocean. Other factors such as evaporation, ice formation, and river input can influence ocean salinity levels.
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
Which areas of the ocean have the lowest salinity and why?
The lowest areas of salinity in an ocean are near where fresh water rivers empty into them. This is because the influx of fresh water creates an area of lower salinity compared to the remainder of the ocean.
Is the Indian ocean the biggest ocean on the earth?
No, the Atlantic ocean is the saltiest of the oceans.
An increase in ocean salinity can increase what creating a current?
An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.
What is the saltiness of the ocean called?
The saltiness of the ocean is called salinity, which refers to the concentration of dissolved salts in the water.
Where is the highest surface salinity found in the world ocean?
The highest surface salinity in the world ocean is found in the Red Sea.
