The Salt Waters

Activity 2. Working with an interactive map and graphs of typical ocean salinity levels depending on depth

 

  1. Investigate typical salinity levels in the ocean depending on depth. What is your prediction?
  2. Use the interactive map available at https://bit.ly/3O5RUVy
  3. Choose two places to explore further: one at a low altitude (near the equator) and one at a higher altitude – closer to one of the poles. What do you observe?
  4. Find pictures on the internet that show the halocline phenomenon.
