a tropical storm hits florida, bringing heavy rain for days. the local rivers are overflowing. after the storm, what would we most expect to find in regard to the salinity of local lagoons? (1 point) decreased salinity because a large amount of salt water would flow in decreased salinity because a large amount of fresh water would flow in increased salinity because a large amount of salt water would flow in increased salinity because a large amount of fresh water would flow in
Local lagoons typically have some salinity. Heavy rain causes rivers (freshwater) to overflow into lagoons. Adding freshwater dilutes the salt concentration, leading to decreased salinity.
