Answer:

The Oceans are saline or salty because of the several natural occurrences. One of the reason is the rivers because it brings water with minerals by crossing over soil and stones, moving salt along the way, which adds into the oceans, results in salinity by evaporating the water.

Ocean salinity levels can change from place to place. The Mediterranean Sea is saltier. The Atlantic Ocean has access to the freshwater rivers, such as the Amazon which provide less salinity in the ocean.

Which type of soil can retain the greatest amount of water- high porosity, low porosity, low permeability or high permeability
topjm [15]
The answer is: HIGH POROSITY.
________________________________
(although low permeability can be associated with greater water retention. Permeability can be affected by particular size.  For instance, larger particular have larger poles, so fluid (water) can pass through water quickly (higher permeability and less water retention).  As such, smaller particles have smaller pores, so fluid (water) can pass through water LESS quickly (lower permeability and RETAINING MORE WATER.).
_______________________
However, "high porosity" is the best choice.
