Question

order the types of water from highest salinity to lowest salinity.

highest salinity (most salt)

lowest salinity (least 0 - .5 ppt)

brackish brine freshwater saline

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Salinity Levels

Brine has very high salinity (more than typical seawater), Saline (like seawater) has moderate - high, Brackish is between fresh and saline, and Freshwater has the lowest (0 - 0.5 ppt as given).

Step2: Order from Highest to Lowest

1. Brine (highest salinity)
2. Saline
3. Brackish
4. Freshwater (lowest salinity, 0 - 0.5 ppt)

Answer:

From highest salinity to lowest salinity: Brine, Saline, Brackish, Freshwater
