salinity

Definitions

Examples

• Coined “Weganool,” the plant’s fibers can be extracted without chemicals and it can be grown in soil with high salinity and little water — plus the liquid leftovers can be made into insect repellent.

• Archaea often live in extreme environments, like hot springs and volcanic vents on the seafloor, characterized by high temperatures, high pressures, high salinity, high acidity or other threats.

• Scientists knew that acoustic transmissions depend on water density, which, in the ocean, depends on temperature and salinity.

• Gliding about 50 meters above the seafloor, the AUV collected the first direct measurements of temperature, salinity and oxygen levels in the water.

• The subtropical convergence is an area of the ocean where temperature and salinity can change rapidly, and this can aggregate whale prey.

• They exist in both fresh and salt water, and some species seem capable of thriving in brackish water of any degree of salinity.

• Below the surface water is a zone in which temperature decreases and density and salinity increase with depth.

• Knowledge of temperature, density, and salinity is important to understanding what happens to radionuclides in the ocean.

• Its salinity is comparable to that of the eastern basin of the Mediterranean, which is greater than that of the Black Sea, viz.

• Moreover, when they freeze a certain amount of salt leaves the ice and thereby increases the salinity of the surrounding water.
