As promised here are the test results.<br />Pretty interesting. The highest levels of salinity were in the Caribbean. The lowest levels were in the northern latitudes. <br />Problem Statement<br /><br />Does the salinity level of ocean water vary around<br />the world?<br /><br />Based on salt water aquarium recommendations, the<br />optimum level of water salinity for ocean marine life is <br />between 2.7% and 3.3%. The assumption is that the <br />salinity levels of the worlds oceans would fall within this range.<br /><br />This project will determine if ocean salinity varies beyond this optimum range. <br /><br />Hypothesis<br /><br />If salinity levels differ significantly in ocean water samples taken from various oceans and locations, then it would conclude salinity levels are affected by climate,<br />location, and other factors. The results of this experiment are expected to show ocean salinity to not vary beyond 2.7% and 3.3%.<br /><br /> http:// <br /> web page
