Why does the saltiest water in the ocean sink?
Density. The saltier water is the heavier (per unit volume) it is. The saltiest water doesn't always sink though. Seawater density is dependent on temperature, salinity and pressure. Most often the effects of temperature are dominant in determining vertical stratification.
Is the Indian ocean the biggest ocean on the earth?
No, the Atlantic ocean is the saltiest of the oceans.
When is ocean water most saline?
Ocean water is usually saltiest near the surface. High levels of evaporation at the surface cause a reduction in freshwater and thus create saltier water near the surface. This effect is most dominant in the warm tropical areas around the equator, thus these areas are saltier than in midlatitudes. Since high salinity implies denser, and thus heavier, water, one might suspect that the saltiest water sinks to the bottom. However, temperature effects tend to dominate the vertical stratification.
