Why do oceans tend to have high salinity when it is a hot or dry climate?
In hot or dry climates, there is increased evaporation of water from the oceans, leaving behind dissolved salts and minerals. As more water evaporates, the salt concentration in the remaining water increases, leading to higher salinity levels.
Do estuaries or bays have a high or low salinity?
Enclosed bays tend to have high salinity
What oceans have salt in them?
AnswerAll oceans have salt in them. The average salinity of all oceans is 35 parts per thousand. Salinity does vary according to depth and location. Areas of the ocean located near onshore river runoff typically have a lower salinity. Areas near the tropics with high evaporation rates tend to have higher salinity.
Where does salinity tend to be below average?
the dead sea
Why are deserts found on the west of countries and rainforest's on the east?
This is caused by the different climates found through out the world. Countries to the west tend to have drier climates while countries to the east tend to have wetter climates.
How does levels of salinity affect brine shrimp?
Higher levels of salinity produce brine shrimp that are smaller, but reach sexual maturity faster than those in lower levels. Also lower levels of salinity tend to allow more predators into the ecosystem.
What climate feature do arctic climates and desert climates share that makes their soils similar?
Both arctic and desert climates have low precipitation levels, resulting in little moisture available to support vegetation growth. As a result, the soils in both climates tend to be dry, nutrient-poor, and often have a high salt content.
Why do we know more about continents than oceans?
Because we tend to spend more time on the continents than in the oceans.
Where to exotic species tend to cause the most problems?
in warm climates and on islands
How tropical climate effects the rise in population?
Tropical climates are more pleasant for most people than colder climates are. Because of this, areas with tropical climates tend to have higher population rates.
Why does coastal water in areas with hotter water have drier climates than having higher climates salinity than coastal water in cooler more humid areas?
Areas with hotter water tend to have drier climates because the warm water increases evaporation rates, leading to more moisture in the air. Higher salinity in coastal waters can actually lead to less evaporation and contribute to higher humidity in cooler, more humid areas. Additionally, the direction of prevailing winds can also affect the distribution of moisture from the coastal waters.
Do highland climates change with elevation?
Yes, highland climates change with elevation. As elevation increases, temperatures tend to decrease, leading to cooler temperatures and potentially different precipitation patterns. This results in different climate zones, such as alpine climates at high elevations with colder temperatures and different vegetation types compared to lower elevations.
