PPT-Latitude Affects Salinity

Part 3 Temperatures are lowest in the polar regions and highest near the equator Heavy rainfall in the equatorial regions freshens the ocean near the equator whereas hot and dry conditions near the tropics result in high surface salinity in the tropics.

Explain how and why the oceans are saline.. Diagram how salinity can change and where.. Hemispheres. A place can be either in the NORTHERN or SOUTHERN hemisphere. That means it is in one of the halves above or below the imaginary east-west line known as the EQUATOR.. A place can also be in either the WESTERN or EASTERN hemisphere. That means it is in one of the halves on either side of the imaginary north-south line known as the PRIME MERIDIAN.. By Rick . Garuckas. and Andrew . Calvi. Role of Mid-latitude Cyclones.
