The Dead Sea is a location where high evaporation rates occur. What can you conclude about the water in the Dead Sea?

The salinity will be higher than in a sea with a low evaporation rate.

The salinity will be lower than in a sea with a low evaporation rate.

The salinity will be the same as in a sea with a low evaporation rate.

The salinity will sometimes be higher and sometimes be lower than in a sea with a low evaporation rate.

Um, think of it this way: the water evaporates while the salt stays in the water, so if there's the same amount of salt but less water...? Does that help?

well kind of, but the salinity would be higher, correct? and when it is its harder for it to evaporate
