|
|
Turbidity and salinity have no connection.
|
|
|
Salinity and turbidity measure the same abiotic factor.
|
|
|
As salinity increases, so does turbidity.
|
|
|
The more salt in water, the lower the turbidity.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Salinity and turbidity measure the same abiotic factor. As salinity increases, so does turbidity. The more salt in water, the lower the turbidity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which best describes the relationship between salinity levels and the amount of dissolved gases in ocean water? As salinity increases, the amount of dissolved gases increases.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which best explains why the turbidity increases as water samples are taken closer to the shore? Shoreline erosion causes sediment to wash into the lake.
Detailed explanation-4: -Rapid changes in source water turbidity. May be an indication of pollution triggered by environmental events (e.g. storms or fires) or anthropogenic activities (in both groundwater and surface-water catchments), or ingress of contamination through groundwater infrastructure.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than warm water. In winter and early spring, when the water temperature is low, the dissolved oxygen concentration is high. In summer and fall, when the water temperature is high, the dissolved-oxygen concentration is often lower.
