Question

How does the melting of ice caps near the North Pole affect the salinity of the ocean?

Answer 1

The salinity of the water goes down as the icecaps melt. That is because the icecaps are fresh water, meaning there's no salt in that ice. If they melt rapidly, the water mixes with the ocean water that is salty and since fresh water is added, the salinity reduces and the oceans become less salty.

Answer 2

melting of ice will increase water in oceans due to which water in oceans will increase and salinity will decrease.

hence, melting of ice caps near the north pole affects salinity of the ocean.
