Why Does Salinity Start So Low At High Latitudes And Increase With Depth? [Solved]

In low-latitude regions, the surface salinity starts out high, then decreases as depth increases. This is due to high temp in low lattitudes, evaporation is high and salinity is high near the surface but since salt is less dense than water it usually stays near the top. So salinity decreases with depth.
