Q. Which of the following are reasons for the highest salinity of ocean water in the Red Sea?

1. Low Precipitation and High Evaporation
2. Little Connection with Open Ocean
3. Coriolis Force

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: The Red Sea exhibits high salinity mainly due to high evaporation and low precipitation, causing water loss and salt accumulation. Its limited connection with the open ocean restricts dilution by other water bodies. Coriolis Force affects ocean currents but does not directly influence salinity. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct, while statement 3 is not.
