Question

In which of the following condition salinity is high?

• A. In seas where the rate of evaporation is high than the supply of freshwater.
• B. In seas where the rate of evaporation is low than the supply of freshwater.
• C. In seas where the supply of freshwater exceeds the rate of evaporation
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In seas where the rate of evaporation is high than the supply of freshwater.

In seas where the rate of evaporation is high than the supply of freshwater, salinity is high. It happens because due to evaporation water turns into water vapour and reduces in quantity, but the amount of salt remains the same.
