Iceberg: The formation of icebergs increases salinity because it is taking liquid water out of the ocean without taking the salt.
Sea Ice: Same as icebergs, this increases salinity because it removes liquid water.
Runoff: This decreases salinity because it is introducing fresh water into the ocean, reducing the salt to water ratio.
Evaporation: This would increase salinity because it is removing liquid water from the ocean, increasing the salt to water ratio.
Hope this helps!
Water, which is a chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio two hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, contains H2O molecules.
Mantle convection causes tectonic plates to move around the Earth's surface.
Plants absorb the water from the soil ( through their roots) and then release it back into the atmosphere by transpiration (evaporation from the leaves)
Insects (mosquitoes, lice, fleas, bed bugs) and ticks are able to transmit a number of diseases caused by infectious agents: viruses (chikungunya virus, yellow fever, dengue fever, etc.), bacteria (Lyme disease, plague, etc.), parasites (malaria, sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis, filariasis, etc.)
