Question

Comparing figure 4a-1 and figure 4a-2 also shows that those regions of the ocean with lower surface salinities are generally associated with areas where___. 

a. E>P

b. E=P

c. E<P

Evaporation and precipitation have a considerable effect on surface ocean salinity. Figure 4A-2 is a global map of annual mean salinity. (This same figure appears in Investigation 3A.) Mentally mark each major center of highest salinity with an “H" and survey the map to identify regions of relatively low salinity.

Freshwater Flux between Ocean and Atmosphere Figure 4A-1 is the climatological annual mean freshwater flux, or global distribution of evaporation (E) minus precipitation (P), or E – P in millimeter per day (mm/d) over ocean areas. The figure is from the Committee on Earth Observation satellites (2009) via NASA. -1. +6 +2 +1 +0.2 -0.2 -1 -2 4 -6 -8 -10 -13 -17 (mm/day)
