The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the salt concentration of 30-35 parts per thousand, we will analyze the options provided and determine which one corresponds to this salinity level. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Salinity**: - Salinity is a measure of the concentration of salts in water, typically expressed in parts per thousand (ppt). - Different aquatic environments have varying salinity levels. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Inland Water**: Generally has a low salinity level, typically less than 5 ppt. This option can be eliminated. - **Sea**: The average salinity of seawater is approximately 30 to 35 ppt. This matches the given range. - **Hypersaline Lagoons**: These environments can have salinity levels exceeding 100 ppt, which is much higher than the given range. This option can also be eliminated. - **Estuaries**: These areas where freshwater meets saltwater usually have variable salinity, but it is generally lower than that of the sea, often less than 30 ppt. This option can be eliminated as well. 3. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the only option that fits the salt concentration of 30-35 ppt is **Sea**. Therefore, the correct answer is **Sea**. ### Final Answer: The salt concentration of 30-35 parts per thousand is found in the **Sea**.
