Q.1 Give reasons: 1.Salinity increases in the mid-latitudinal zones.

Answer»

EXPLANATION:

The intensity of salinity depends on the rate of evaporation and supply of freshwater.

The mid-latitudinal ZONES experience almost perpendicular sunrays leading to higher TEMPURATURE and evidently increasing the rate of evaporation.

Also, in the mid-latitudinal zones, major part of the oceans is present leading to more minerals and less supply of freshwater.

Therefore,higher rate of evaporation and LESSER supply of freshwater is responsinle for the increase in salinity in mid-latitudinal zones.

Hope this helps!
