The salinity is so high, because the rate of evaporation is high, and the rate of rainfall is low.
Option - 2
Explanation:
- The correct reason that would define the salinity of Central Atlantic Ocean would be the higher evaporation rate and lower rainfall.
- Since the rate of evaporation is high the water moves up in the form of vapours and as we know it will not carry salt so it is left.
- Behind while the rainfall that is occurring in that place is lesser than the rate of evaporation.
- Hence the concentration of salt is more with no rainfall to dilute it hence the salinity in the water is more there.
