Question 5 • 5120VA Environmental Science Sem A

Which habitat would have the least variation in its salinity?

Answer
A
salt marsh
B
mangrove forest
C
lake
D
estuary

Explanation

A lake, especially a freshwater lake, generally has low and relatively stable salinity. Salt marshes, mangrove forests, and estuaries are coastal habitats where seawater mixes with freshwater or is affected by tides, so their salinity can vary more. Therefore, the lake has the least variation in salinity.
