Question

Describe the salinity of the oceanic water​

Answer 1

Water out of an open sea is known as seawater. The mean salinity of freshwater in the world's oceans is around 3.5 percent or 35 percent per thousand.

The salinity of the oceanic water​ :

• Water out of an open sea is known as seawater. The mean salinity of freshwater in the world's oceans is around 3.5 percent or 35 percent per thousand. This means that 35 grams of salts (mainly, but not totally, sodium chloride) are dissolved in every 1 liter (1000 mL) of saltwater.

• Each liter of seawater contains around 35 grams of dissolved salts. 35 is how it's written. Ocean salinity typically ranges from 33 to 37 grams per liter (33 - 37).

• However, just as there are zones of high and low pressure in the weather, there are areas of high and low salinity.
