Southern hemisphere is more saline

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The northern hemisphere occupies more land mass. This is one prime reason for increased salinity in the northern hemisphere.
2. Land heats up and cools down faster than ocean water. The temperature gradient in the ocean in the south Hemisphere, SH is not going so high, when compared to NH, due to the vast expanses of water.
3. The two main reasons affecting the density of ocean water are considered to be salinity and temperature.
