Question

Explain the distribution of salinity around the Tropic of Cancer and tropic of Capricorn.

Answer 1

1. The salinity of the sea around the Tropic of Cancer is about 36 high temperature.
2. The high rate of evaporation and the landlocked nature of the seas obstructing the free movement of ocean currents cause more salinity.
3. In comparison, the salinity of the sea around the Tropic of Capricorn is about 35. The proportion of land is less in the Southern hemisphere.
4. As a result, ocean currents control the salinity around the Tropic of Capricorn.
