Read these sentences from the text. Near the equator, the tropics receive the most rain on a consistent basis. As a result, the fresh water falling into the ocean helps decrease the salinity of the surface water in that region. [. . .] . . . as the salt content of sea water increases, so does its density. What can you infer about how rain affects the density of surface water near the equator?

Respuesta :

The answer is: A. Rain near the equator helps decrease the density of surface water there.

The temperature and salinity of the sea water determine its density.

As the salt content of sea water increases, so does its density.

The lowest salinity in the equator and the polar regions.

Sea water is salty, with different salinity, temperature, and density in different places, sea depths and forms of water.
