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. isotopologues. .
