Answer:

Oceans are the source of marine water and rivers and other sources have fresh water.

The ocean water has the ability to adjust its salinity by many ways. he evaporation of water from the ocean and formation of iceberg increases the salinity of water.

Besides this, the inflow of fresh water in the ocean decreases the salinity of water and makes the water less salty. Other processes that decrease the salinity is precipitation both water and snow.

Melting of iceberg also decreases the salinity of water.

The event order should be:

1. Ingesting food, the small bowel filled with food solutes and become hypertonic. It will attract water from the blood which is hypotonic
2. Food digested, some of it absorbed. The osmotic pressure inside bowel will be reduced.
3. All food is absorbed, the osmotic pressure reduced significantly makes it hypotonic. The blood attracts water as it is hypertonic. This will increase the blood volume
