Which area would have the highest salinity? an area with plenty of runoff an area with high rates of evaporation an area with high rates of precipitation

Answer: high rates of evaporation

Salinity is the measure of amount of salt dissolved in the water. The area with a plenty of run off will have very low salinity as the run off will take away the surface particles might be containing salt in it. The area with high rates of precipitation will have very low salinity this is because of the fact that the rainfall will take away the salts present on the surface to other location because of water erosion.

The area with high rates of evaporation will have highest salinity because the water or other liquid components gets removed from the surface leaving behind all the solid sediments which may also include salts.

An area with high rates of evaporation. Since evaporation takes away water and leaves the salt.
