Ocean Water Cycle Quiz: Evaporation, Rain, and Salinity

Questions: 15 | Attempts: 12 | Last updated: Mar 20, 2026

Sample Question
How does evaporation affect the salinity of ocean water?

It lowers salinity by removing dissolved salt along with the water

It has no effect because salt and water evaporate at the same rate

It increases salinity because water evaporates but dissolved salts remain behind

It decreases salinity because evaporation cools the water and slows salt production
