amount of dissolved salts in water
A
swamp
B
decomposers
C
salinity
D
marsh
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Slightly saline water-From 1, 000 ppm to 3, 000 ppm. Moderately saline water-From 3, 000 ppm to 10, 000 ppm. Highly saline water-From 10, 000 ppm to 35, 000 ppm. By the way, ocean water contains about 35, 000 ppm of salt.

Detailed explanation-2: -Salinity is the measure of the amount of dissolved salts in water. It is usually expressed in parts per thousand (ppt) or percentage (%). Freshwater from rivers has a salinity value of 0.5ppt or less.

Detailed explanation-3: -The salinity of normal ocean water is about 35 parts per 1, 000, total dissolved solids. This is written as 35‰ or 35 ppth. A salinity of 35‰ is the same as 3.5%. The symbol resembles a percentage sign (%), but percent means per 100.

Detailed explanation-4: -40%salinity means that if we take 100g of water then the water has the capacity to dissolve 40 g of salt and make this a solution of water and salt.
