Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subtropical oceans are characterized by high levels of evaporation due to high temperatures and stable atmospheric conditions, which lead to a buildup of salt in the surface water. This results in higher levels of seawater salinity in these regions compared to other regions.
