What is ocean salinity?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Ocean salinity refers to the concentration of salt and other dissolved minerals in ocean water. It is typically measured in parts per thousand (ppt) and is an important factor in determining the density and properties of seawater. The average salinity of the world's oceans is around 35 ppt, meaning that for every 1,000 grams of seawater, there are about 35 grams of dissolved salts. Changes in ocean salinity can affect ocean circulation patterns, marine ecosystems, and weather patterns.
