When we analyze the salt salinity(盐浓度)of ocean waters, we find that it varies only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation. In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salt stays behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtained.
The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation.
Normally, in hot regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.
In the Weddell Sea, the densest water in the ocean is formed as a result of this freezing process , which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portion of the oceans of the world.
This passage mainly tells us about______.
选项
A、the analysis of the salinity of ocean waters
B、the causes of the variation in oceanic salinity
C、the importance of the changes in oceanic salinity
D、the different forms of salts in ocean waters
答案
B
解析
本题考查文章大意,根据“There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity.One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation.”.“The opposite of evaporation is precipitation.”和“A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of sea ice.”可知,本文主要讲的是引起海水盐度变化的原因。
