The Dead Sea

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is approximately 34%, which greatly increases buoyancy due to the high density of the water.

StarStarStarStar

The Great Salt Lake

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is around 12-17%, which is much higher than most other lakes and results in higher buoyancy.

StarStarStarStar

The Baltic Sea

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is around 0.8%, resulting in slightly higher buoyancy than freshwater.

StarStarStarStar

The Caspian Sea

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is about 1.2%, which has a minimal effect on buoyancy compared to freshwater.

StarStarStarStar

Lake Baikal

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is very low, around 0.001%, so its buoyancy effect is similar to fresh water.

StarStarStarStar

The Red Sea

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is about 4%, leading to somewhat higher buoyancy compared to average seawater.

StarStarStarStar

The Southern Ocean

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is about 3.5%, which is close to the global oceanic average and thus has standard seawater buoyancy.

StarStarStarStar

The Persian Gulf

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is about 4.0%, which means it has an elevated buoyancy effect due to higher than average salinity.

StarStarStarStar

The Black Sea

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is approximately 1.8%, which means it has a slight increase in buoyancy compared to freshwater.

StarStarStarStar

The Mediterranian Sea

StarStarStarStar

Average salinity is roughly 3.8%, contributing to slightly higher than normal seawater buoyancy.
