Question
which event may occur when ocean salinity increases?
o mass of water increases
o freezing point of water increases
o sunlight in deeper locations decreases
o amount of dissolved gases in water increases
When ocean salinity increases, the freezing point of water decreases (not increases). The mass of water is not directly affected by salinity increase. Sunlight in deeper locations is mainly affected by water depth and turbidity, not salinity. However, when salinity increases, the amount of dissolved gases in water generally increases as more ions are available to interact with gas molecules.
