Front

What is hypersaline water?

Back

Hypersaline water has a salinity level significantly higher than that of normal seawater, often exceeding 35 ppt.

Front

What effect does high salinity have on aquatic life?

Back

High salinity can lead to osmotic stress in aquatic organisms, making it difficult for them to regulate their internal water balance.

Front

What is the primary salt found in seawater?

Back

The primary salt found in seawater is sodium chloride (NaCl).

Front

How does evaporation affect salinity levels?

Back

Evaporation removes water from a body of water, increasing the concentration of salts and thus raising salinity levels.

Front

What is the relationship between rainfall and salinity in ocean areas?

Back

Areas of the ocean that receive abundant rainfall tend to have lower salinity due to the dilution of salts.

Front

What is the significance of the term 'originating' in scientific writing?

Back

'Originating' refers to the source or beginning of something, often used to describe where a phenomenon or substance comes from.

Front

What is the correct punctuation for the phrase 'Earth does not freeze'?
