Why is the salinity at seawater higher in subtropical regions than when it is at the equator?

It is this way since the equator is warmer than the subtropical regions. I think warmth burns the salt from the water.

What is Near the equator?
Tropical
Where are cycads found?
Mostly in the tropical & subtropical regions of the earth
In addition to salinity what factor affects the density in sea water?
Density of seawater is largely a function of two factors: depth, that is, the deeper water is more dense than water at shallower levels; and temperature - water at higher temperatures is less dense than cooler water. Salinity is also a factor, but that's a localized phenomena simply because all the worlds oceans are in fact one large ocean and maintains an average overall salinity.
In regions of heavy precipitation is the salinity of surface waters is reduced?
its true
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where is high and is low?
Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
Where did the first grow of avocado?
subtropical regions
Can African penguins survive in a subtropical region?
Yes. in fact, they can only survive in subtropical regions.
Is the density of the salinity of seawater lower or higher?
Generally the Oceans are more saline in the tropics, that is to say the sea is less salty towards the polar regions.
Explain how the salinity of water in polar regions varies seasonally?
Surface salinity in polar regions varies seasonally due to the formation and melting of sea ice.

Explain how the salinity of water in polar regions very seasonally?
The salinity of water in polar regions varies seasonally because of the melting of sea ice during warmer months.
Why are the winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure zones in both hemispheres to the equator called the trade winds?
In the era of sailing ships, regions of constant winds were much appreciated. They made trade around the world possible.
