Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about distribution of salinity in water.
1. Generally salinity is high in land locked regions compared to estuaries.
2. The salinity variation in the Pacific Ocean is mainly due to its shape and larger areal extent.
3. Highest salinity is recorded between 0 to 10-degree latitude because of high temperature and high evaporation.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?Correct
All waters in nature, whether rain water or ocean water, contain dissolved mineral salts. Salinity is the term used to define the total content of dissolved salts in sea water. It is calculated as the amount of salt (in gm) dissolved in 1,000 gm (1 kg) of seawater. It is usually expressed as parts per thousand (o/oo) or ppt. Salinity is an important property of sea water. Salinity of 24.7 o/oo has been considered as the upper limit to demarcate ‘brackish water’. In the land locked Red Sea, salinity is as high as 41o/oo, while in the estuaries and the Arctic, the salinity fluctuates from 0 – 35 o/oo, seasonally.
The salinity variation in the Pacific Ocean is mainly due to its shape and larger areal extent. The highest salinity is recorded between 15° and 20° latitudes. Maximum salinity (37 o/oo) is observed between 20° N and 30° N and 20° W – 60° W. It gradually decreases towards the north.Incorrect
