Question
Chapter 51.6, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The marine area that experiences highest fluctuations in terms of salinity over time.
Introduction:
The oceans, seas, and estuaries make the marine ecosystems. These water bodies have high salt content, which they receive from the rivers that flow all the way from the plains and mountains, depositing the silt at the river mouth.
