What else can I help you with?
On average how does the salinity of the Arctic Ocean in the winter compare to its salinity in the summer?
the salinity is 103967 per liter to 235356 per liter btw this is wrong
Can sea water freeze?
The seawater does freeze. The freezing point of seawater depends upon it's salinity,which is the amount of salt that it contains. Open ocean seawater has a salinity of about 35. Fresh water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and 35 water freezes at about -2 degrees C. The decrease is linear so that water with a salinity of 17 freezes at about -1 degree C. In the winter large tracts of polar seawater freeze to a considerable thickness.
Would you expect the seawater just below the floating ice in the Arctic Ocean to be higher or lower in salinity then the water in the deep zone there?
When ocean water freezes into sea ice, some of the salt is incorporated into the new ice. Thereafter, that salt drains as brine (salt plus water), causing the layer of water below to be of higher salinity.
Which is the ocean with the lowest salinity?
The ocean with the lowest salinity is the Arctic Ocean. This is due to factors such as extensive melting of ice and low evaporation rates, which dilute the salt concentration in the water.
What area in the ocean is more likely to have the lowest salinity?
Areas near the poles like the Arctic Ocean will have the lowest salinity
Average salinity of the arctic ocean?
its 20 ppt (parts per thousand)
Why would there generally be a higher salinity near the north and the south poles near the glaciers?
Because of the solidification of the water under low temperatures. The water is "turned" into ice, leaving the salt behind. So the salt is left in the water, with the freshwater turned into ice floating on top. If the glaciers melt, the salinity will decline, because this new freshwater will dilute the salty waters.
How salinity and temperature affects the seawater?
Salinity and temperature are conservative properties of seawater that directly affect the density of seawater. This is an extremely important property because it in turn directly affects upwelling and downwelling of oceans and some major oceanic currents. This is because if a denser body of water is sitting on top of a less dense body of water, the denser part of the water column will turn over (sink) to get to a more stable water column state. This leads to water mixing of nutrients and oxygen for organisms living in the water column. Typically the saltier the water, the higher the density and also the colder the water, the higher the density. So because of this, cold and salty water (Antarctic and Arctic) are the most dense bodies of water and typically stay towards the bottom of the ocean floor.
Salinity in the Arctic Ocean varies based on the amount of fresh water that comes in from which two streams?
siberian and canadian
Would a person float more easily in the middle of the Atlantic or the Arctic Ocean?
The Arctic Ocean's salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans. Objects would be more buoyant in the Atlantic.
Which ocean of arctic Atlantic pacific Caribbean and north sea is the warmest?
Atlantic ocean
What is found a Lichen?
can be found in arctic tundra,Texas,Georgia,China,and even the Caribbean
