Question 2

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 3

-Explain how seawater salinity is affected by surface processes (such as precipitation and evaporation, for example).

Accepted Answer

Seawater salinity is affected by surface processes such as precipitation and evaporation. When precipitation occurs, it introduces fresh water into the ocean, which can lower the overall salinity of the seawater in that area. On the other hand, evaporation removes water from the ocean, leaving behind the salt and other dissolved minerals, which increases the salinity of the seawater.

In areas where there is high evaporation and little precipitation, such as in the subtropics, the seawater tends to be more saline. Conversely, in areas with high precipitation and low evaporation, such as near the equator or in regions with heavy rainfall, the seawater tends to be less saline.

Overall, the balance between precipitation and evaporation plays a significant role in determining the salinity of seawater in different regions of the ocean.
