Describe the oceans and explain how the water cycle affects the salinity of the ocean?
Oceans are big water bodies. Salinity is due to the presence of minerals in water.
How do temperature and salinity relate to deep-current movement?
The density of the water increases with the salinity, so saline water is denser and sinks to the bottom. Temperature is also a factor, however. Cold, saline water is the densest
Name two factors that can effect the salinity levels of ocean water?
Biomass and temperature, erosion and mineral content.
Is it safe to drink from the dead sea?
No, it is not. Not only is the salinity far too high, but there is a large amount of bacteria in any ocean water.
What oceans have salt in them?
AnswerAll oceans have salt in them. The average salinity of all oceans is 35 parts per thousand. Salinity does vary according to depth and location. Areas of the ocean located near onshore river runoff typically have a lower salinity. Areas near the tropics with high evaporation rates tend to have higher salinity.
How do oceanographs measure the salinity ocean water?
Oceanographers measure the salinity of the ocean by hand held refractometer, hydrometer, and conductivity meter.

How do oceanographers measure the sanility of ocean water?
by measuring the conductivity
The measure of the amount of solids dissolved in ocean water is what?
salinity
Why do oceanographers take measurements of the of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
What term do oceanographers use to describe the amount of dissolved salts in ocean water?
The total amount of dissolved salts in ocean water is referred to as "Salinity". :)
True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
What is a measure of how salty water is?
Salinity is a measure of the saltiness of water.
Which factor do oceanographers measure in order to determine the salinity of ocean water?
One reason is to teste the buoyancy of the water and density. Another reason is to test how the sea life is doing. Some marine animals can't live in salt water and some can't live in fresh water. They test the salinity to test if the water is suitable for life
Why do oceanographers takes measurements of the conductivity of the seawater?
Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.
