Area 3 because the water from the ocean is being evaporated

Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.

13. What are the two broad categories of weathering responsible for breaking down rock/ minerals?
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Weathering is a natural process of break down of rocks or minerals into sub-parts, sediments and others. The two broad categories of weathering which are responsible for breaking down of rock/minerals are:

1. Physical and mechanical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are broken down into sub-parts. This process does not alter the chemical composition of the rocks. The agents such as temperature, pressure, and others.

2. Chemical weathering: It refers to the process by which the rocks are subjected to chemical treatment such as hydrolysis, oxidation, and carbonation. These treatments brings change in the chemical composition of the rocks which further causes the disintegration of rocks.

Why would you expect that seafloor samples taken farther from land usually contain a greater proportion of biogenous sediments t
Natali [406]

It is expected that seafloor samples taken farther from land usually contain a greater proportion of biogenous sediments because sediments are thinnest on the seabed closest to spreading centres (young seafloor) and thicker distant from the ridge (older seafloor with more time for accumulation). Additionally, sediments are substantially thicker close to continents.

More about seafloor sediments:

Terrigenous, pelagic, and hydrogenous sediment are the three different types of sea floor sediment. Terrigenous sediment is deposited on the continental shelf, continental rise, and abyssal plain and is derived from the land.

Clay particles and tiny marine animal skeletons that progressively sink to the ocean floor make up pelagic sediment. Minerals that precipitate from seawater on the ocean floor, such as manganese nodules, are abundant in hydrogenous sediments.
