Low salinity can occur due to several factors, primarily from the influx of freshwater. This can happen in regions where rivers discharge large amounts of freshwater into oceans or seas, diluting the salt concentration. Additionally, heavy rainfall or melting ice can decrease salinity levels, especially in coastal areas. Low salinity can also be found in enclosed bodies of water where evaporation is low compared to freshwater input.
What else can I help you with?
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
What is lighter warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
Cold water with high salinity
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
Which ocean has low salinity?
artic
Do estuaries or bays have a high or low salinity?
Enclosed bays tend to have high salinity
What biome has 0005 salinity?
A biome with a salinity of 0.005 would likely be a freshwater biome, such as a river, lake, or stream. This low salinity level indicates a lack of significant dissolved salts or minerals commonly found in saltwater environments.
What is lightest water warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
cold water w/ high salinity
Does Freshwater have a salinity of 20 ppt?
No, freshwater does not have a salinity of 20 parts per thousand (ppt). Freshwater typically has a salinity of less than 1 ppt, as it contains very low concentrations of dissolved salts. A salinity of 20 ppt would classify the water as brackish, which is a mixture of freshwater and seawater.
Is salinity a biotic factor?
No, salinity would be abiotic.

In the subtropics the saltiest water is generally at the surface, why?
What causes low salinity in the oceans at high latitudes?In subtropical latitudes, high surface evaporation creates high salinity near the sea surface. In subpolar latitudes, high precipitation creates low salinity near the sea surface. As these waters flow into the ocean interior, they create layers of high and low salinity.
What is low salinity?
Low salinity refers to the condition of water having a lower concentration of dissolved salts compared to seawater. This can occur in areas where freshwater input dilutes the salt content or due to specific environmental conditions such as rainfall or melting ice. Low salinity levels can have impacts on aquatic ecosystems and influence ocean circulation patterns.
