Give reason. Oceans located at the same latitude do not have same salinity. - Geography

Give reason.

Oceans located at the same latitude do not have same salinity.

थोडक्यात उत्तर

The salinity of the oceans depends on factors like the rate of evaporation and the supply of fresh water.
In oceans where the rate of evaporation is greater than the supply of fresh water, the salinity is higher.
In oceans where the supply of freshwater exceeds the rate of evaporation, salinity is low.
Salinity is not affected much in areas where the supply of fresh water and the evaporation of water are low.
Thus, oceans located at the same latitude do not have the same salinity.
