Question about salinity of the following bodies of water...?

Question

Order the salinity (lowest to highest) of these three places: Honolulu, HI; Chesapeake Bay, MD; Red Sea.

I think that the Chesapeake Bay is least salty, Honolulu is next, and the Red Sea is most saline. Am I correct?

Answer 1

I would say that you are right.

I haven't looked it up, but the Chesapeake is rather an estuary type body so it has some freshwater mixing. Honolulu (or the ocean around) is open water so it would be normal salinity for the ocean. The Red Sea, because of little drainage would be saltier.

But double check you answers.
