The saltiest part of the sea can be found in Sargasso Sea which is located within the North Atlantic Ocean. The saltiness of the sea is due to the high water temperature which is up to 83º F.

Most ocean and seawater has a salinity of 3.5% worldwide, but variation is possible between 3.1% and 3.8%. Of course, in estuaries or areas where mixing occurs with fresh water from rivers or near melting glaciers, seawater can be substantially less saline.

The most saline open sea is the Red Sea, because of the high rates of evaporation, low precipitation and small amount of water from river inflow. The limited exchange of water between the Red Sea from other ocean water results in the formation of unusually salty seawater. The salinity in isolated fresh water and pools lakes (for example, the Dead Sea) can be so high that the water is saturated and the salts precipitate.

highest salinity is in the Atlantic. Parts of the Red Sea have salinity in excess of 70 on the practical salinity scale.
