Assume that someone brings several water samples to your laboratory.
His problem is that the labels are incomplete. He knows that samples
A and B are from the Atlantic Ocean; he also knows that one came
from near the equator, and the other came from near the Tropic of
Cancer. But he does not know which one is which. He has a similar
problem with samples C and D. One is from the Red Sea, and the
other is from the Baltic Sea. Applying your knowledge of ocean salin-
ity, how would you identify the location of each sample? How were
you able to figure this out?
