Why is polar water saltier than other ocean water?
Polar water may appear saltier due to the formation of sea ice during the winter. When sea ice forms, the salt is pushed out, making the surrounding water saltier. Additionally, the decrease in temperature in polar regions can cause higher density seawater, which can result in saltier water.
What is saltier the sea or the ocean?
The terms "sea" and "ocean" are often used interchangeably, but the ocean is generally saltier overall due to its larger size and higher evaporation rates. However, there can be variation in salinity levels between different seas and oceans based on factors like climate and proximity to freshwater sources.
How do scientists explain the fact that some landforms that are far apart and separated by oceans appear to be related?
Erosion
Which water tend to be saltier?
Oceans tend to be saltier than freshwater bodies such as lakes and rivers. This is because oceans contain dissolved salts from minerals in the Earth's crust and are constantly receiving runoff from land that carries more salts into the ocean.
Why does evaporation makes the water saltier?
Evaporation makes water saltier because when water evaporates, only the pure water molecules escape, leaving the salt and other impurities behind. This concentrates the amount of salt in the remaining water, making it saltier.
Are the oceans getting saltier over time?
Yes, the oceans are getting saltier over time due to factors such as evaporation, precipitation, and human activities like mining and agriculture.
How are oceans getting saltier day by day?
Only God knows
Why oceans are not getting saltier?
well,it can't get more saltier and it can't get less.the denser the water is,the saltier it'll be.the less denser,the less salty it'll be.its the same amount of salt,just different density levels.
Do the oceans get saltier over time?
no they don't
Do oceans near the poles tend to be saltier?
The water is saltier at the poles, and less salty at the equator.
Why are the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake ten times saltier than the oceans?
It is saltier because it has no outlet to the sea.
How much saltier is the dead sea than the oceans?
The Dead Sea is 33.7 % Salinity - The oceans average 3.5% salinity. So the Dead Sea is Roughly 10 times a salty as the Oceans. ----------------- I found another source (wikipedia.org)that states that the Dead Sea is 8.6 times as salty as the sea.
Why aren't the oceans getting saltier?
My off-hand guess would be that they are getting less salty on average as fresh melt-water from Greenland and the polar caps enters the oceans.
This inland saltwater sea is the largest ocean in the western US and is saltier than the oceans?
Great Salt Lake
Why is the Arctic Ocean saltier than Oceans further south?
It think that salt stays in the water because it gets frozen.
Is the ocean getting saltier over time?
Yes, the ocean is getting saltier over time due to factors such as evaporation and human activities like mining and agriculture that contribute to increased salt levels in the water.
When sea water evaporates the salt is left behind you might think this would make the remaining water Saltier but in fact overall the ocean is not getting Saltier why do you think that is?
