Can you name two environmental processes that increase the salinity of the ocean without changing the actual amount of salt in the ocean?


Rate This Answer

Rising sea levels inundate wetlands and other low-lying lands, erode beaches, intensify flooding, and increase the salinity of rivers, bays, and groundwater tables. Some of these effects may be further compounded by other effects of a changing climate. Additionally, measures that people take to protect private property from rising sea level may have adverse effects.
