A lake at lower elevation typically has a higher concentration of dissolved minerals compared to a lake at higher elevation. This is often due to factors such as increased evaporation rates in lower areas, which can concentrate minerals, and the potential for runoff from surrounding land that brings in additional minerals. Additionally, higher elevation lakes may receive more precipitation in the form of snow, which dilutes mineral concentrations. Therefore, the environmental conditions at lower elevations generally lead to higher mineral concentrations.
Higher elevation is going to also have higher atmospheric pressure. My recollection is that the higher pressure of the atmosphere on the surface of the lake will cause a higher level of absorption in the lake itself.
Freshwater has a lower concentration of minerals and salts, around 1%, while saltwater is higher in dissolved salts giving it a higher concentration, around 3.5%
At a higher temperature than pure water. The exact elevation of the boiling point will depend on the concentration of dissolved salt.
This depends on the concentration of sodium chloride, volume of the solution, beaker, source of heat.
The higher concentration begins to diffuse into the area with lower concentration.
Leaching
Diffusion is the process of a substance moving from an area of a higher concentration to a lower concentration. In this scenario the dissolved substance is the higher concentration and the water would go to an area with the lower concentration.
Minerals enter the root cells through a process called diffusion.Minerals are found dissolved the soil around the root. When minerals dissolve in water they break up into ions. These ions are very small and enter through the holes in the cell membrane.The absorption of mineral salts take place through the root hairs.When the mineral concentration is higher in the soil than in the cells of the root hair then the minerals pass through the cell membrane -from a higher concentration of minerals in the soiltoa lower concentration of minerals in the root hair cells.This process is called diffusion and does not require energy.
Electrical conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS) are both measures of water quality, particularly in relation to the concentration of dissolved ions. EC measures the ability of water to conduct electricity, which increases with the number and mobility of dissolved ions, while TDS quantifies the total concentration of all dissolved substances, including salts, minerals, and organic matter. Generally, higher EC values correspond to higher TDS levels, as more dissolved solids contribute to increased conductivity. However, the exact relationship can vary depending on the types of ions present in the water.
The specific gravity of urine indicates the amount of dissolved substances in urine. It is a measure of the density of urine compared to water. A higher specific gravity indicates a higher concentration of dissolved substances, while a lower specific gravity indicates a lower concentration.

Heavy evaporation increases salinity because as water evaporates, it leaves behind dissolved salts, minerals, and other substances, which results in a higher concentration of salt in the remaining water.
