Question

wach · Answer

If the water evaporates rapidly, what is usually left over? Besides fish and other swimmers, of course.:)

Salinity is basically a fraction with salt content on top, and amount of water on bottom.

High rates of evaporation decreases the amount of water, which lowers the denominator of the fraction above; decrease in denominator = higher value for the fraction. Low evaporation rate = more water content = greater denominator. How does this new number compare with the other one?
