Question

ronald is at a lagoon after a recent storm. what should he most expect to find when he measures the lagoon waters salinity? (1 point) o lower salinity because of the tidal movement o lower salinity because of the precipitation o higher salinity because of the tidal movement o higher salinity because of the precipitation

Explanation:

A recent storm brings heavy precipitation (rain). Rainwater is freshwater, so when it enters the lagoon, it dilutes the saltwater, reducing its salinity. Tidal movement typically mixes lagoon water with ocean water (which has consistent salinity) rather than directly lowering/raising salinity due to the storm context, and precipitation does not increase salinity. Thus, the most expected outcome is lower salinity from precipitation.

Answer:

lower salinity because of the precipitation
