the dead sea
The highest surface salinity in the world ocean is found in the Red Sea.
Red Sea
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.
dead sea and red sea has the highest salinity
The Baltic Sea is known as Brackish, that is a little more salty than fresh water, but not as salty as sea water
Salinity varies throughout the world's oceans though it usually ranges between 34-37%; variation can occur because of many different factors, including atmospheric conditions and surrounding oceanic currents. Generally, the highest salinity occurs where evaporation rates are highest, near subtropical highs.
The Dead Sea, which has 10 times the salinity of the oceans
sambhar lake has the highest water salinity in India
Shallow areas with low or no currents and high evaporation.
The Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) are the low salinity waters found in the Southern Ocean.
Red Sea and Persian Gulf are the areas with the highest salinity. Then the areas with lowest salinity would be the polar seas (or seas near to the polar tips), and sometimes some seas near a fresh body of water. For example, the South American area near Amazon River only has an average salinity of 28 o/oo. The Baltic Sea may have an average salinity of 5 o/oo. Hope this helps!!
The salinity of sea waters is approx. 3,5 %.
