Difference between saline water and fresh water. Give differences related to class 10 geography ch 3 water resources.
Answers
The main difference between salt water and fresh water is the salinity content.
saline water:
1. contain salt or sodium chloride.....
2. The earth's oceans and seas are saltwater.....
fresh water:
1.fresh water contains only small amounts of salt
2. ecosystems, while lakes, rivers, streams, marshes and ponds
are freshwater ecosystems.
hope this helps u

Answer:
Saline water consists of water between 30 g/L to 50 g/L of dissolved salts. Average ocean salinity is 35 g/L of dissolved salts. The oceans (or any terminal basin with respect to endorheic basins) are saline in nature due to the lack of any outflow other than evaporation. Any dissolved salts that is dissolved in waters entering the ocean stays behind as water evaporates to continue the hydrological cycle
Freshwater is any water with fewer than 0.5 g/L of dissolved salts. Non-terminal bodies of water (ie. rivers, freshwater lakes) usually have trace amounts of salts dissolved within due to erosion of natural deposits of salts in most rocks, but the concentration is kept below 0.5 g/L as a result of constant flushing with “new” water through inflowing rivers and precipitation, while “old” water carrying dissolved salts carried out through outflowing rivers to the oceans (or the terminal basin with respect to endorheic basins).
