Which sentence correctly explains the difference in salinity in the oceans along the East Coast and the West Coast of the United
States? The warm waters of the Gulf Stream have a higher rate of evaporation, which increases the salinity of the water. Precipitation near the Gulf Stream increases the salinity of the water in that area. Melting ice in the Gulf Stream increases the salinity of the water in that area. Melting ice in the Labrador Stream increases the salinity of the water in that area.
The warm waters of the Gulf Stream have a higher rate of evaporation, which increases the salinity of the water.
I answered the question myself and got it correct.
Explanation:
The warm Gulf Stream flows along the East Coast of the United States, so the rate of evaporation is higher. Because evaporation increases the salinity of the water, the water near the East Coast has higher salinity than the water near the West Coast.
