Choose a Salinity That Isn't Commonly Measured in an Estuary

Question

Choose a salinity that isn't commonly measured in an estuary like Chesapeake Bay.
A) 3 g/kg
B) 5 g/kg
C) 15 g/kg
D) 35 g/kg

Accepted Answer

35 g/kg is the salinity of open ocean water, which is much higher than the typical salinity range found in estuaries like Chesapeake Bay. Estuaries usually have lower salinity due to the mixing of freshwater and seawater.
