Why is the water saltier in the Caribbean?
Why is the water saltier in the Caribbean? In colder areas like the Arctic Ocean, the salt concentration is lower compared to tropical areas like the Caribbean Sea, where the concentration of salt is higher. This is due to water being evaporated by solar energy.
Why are Caribbean waters so blue?
“The Caribbean sea is so clear and blue because it has little presence of plankton – or other substances – and it's relatively shallow so most of the light is reflected. As a result, we see beautiful clear blue water. Water gets its color from the interaction of sunlight with water and the substances in the water.”
