Question
Salinity is low in the land-locked Baltic Sea.
✓

Answer

  • The Baltic Sea lies in the temperate region.
  • In temperate regions, the sunrays are slanting and therefore, the temperatures are lower.
  • The supply of fresh water is also more, as numerous rivers empty their waters into the Baltic sea.
  • Therefore, in spite of being landlocked, due to low rate of evaporation and ample supply of fresh water, the salinity of the Baltic Sea is low.
