Question

why differences are there in the salinity of oceans​

Answer 1

Answer:

Salanity means the total content of dissolve salt in sea water . The sea is enclosed by the land then fresh water cannot flow into the sea and salanity will be high in the equatorial area where evaporation is high due to the high temperature the salanity will be more.

$\huge{\bold{\underline{Answer:}}}$

• Salinity is defined as total amount of dissolved salts in sea water.

• It is calculated as amount of salt (in grams) dissolved in 1000 gms of sea water and usually expressed in "ppt" (parts per thousand).

• Salinity differs from one water source to other.

• For example:-salinity of fresh water(ponds,rivers etc..) is 0-5 ppt, brakish water (estuaries, Swamps etc..)

• The main reason for these differences can attributed to :-

1. Rate of chemical erosion of bed rock.
2. Rate of evaporation.
3. Presence of biological elements (plants and animals).

• For example, if rate of evaporation is high, the amount of salt gets accumulated is high leading to high salinity.

• Example:- dead sea has salinity of 238%.
