The Caspian Sea has lower salinity than most seas primarily because it is an enclosed body of water with limited connection to the ocean, leading to high evaporation rates without significant salt input. Additionally, it receives considerable freshwater inflow from rivers, such as the Volga, which dilutes its salt concentration. These factors combined result in its unique brackish water, with salinity levels lower than typical oceanic salinity.

What seas are easiest to swim in?
The higher the salinity of the water the easier it is to float - the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Great Salt Lake.
What hemisphere is the Caspian sea in?

How many types of saes are there?
There are several types of seas, generally categorized by their geographical and ecological characteristics. Major classifications include marginal seas (like the North Sea), inland seas (like the Caspian Sea), and Mediterranean seas (like the Mediterranean Sea itself). Additionally, seas can be categorized based on their salinity, depth, and proximity to land. Overall, the specific number of types can vary depending on the criteria used for classification.
List the inland seas?
Some inland seas include the Caspian Sea and the Great Lakes.
What is a palaeosalinity?
A palaeosalinity is the salinity of the seas in the geological past.

Give example of lakes of large extent which are called seas?
Caspian, Dead, Aral, Black seas.
What are the 5 major seas that surround southwest Asia?
Mediterranean, Black, Caspian, Arabian, and Red Seas
Which areas of the ocean have high salinity Which have low salinity?
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!!
What factors affects salinity?
There are several factors that affect salinity. Some of the main factors include evaporation and precipitation which will affect the salinity of oceans and seas.
