Seawater typically has a salinity of around 35 g/kg, although lower values are typical near coasts where rivers enter the ocean. Rivers and lakes can have a wide range of salinities, from less than 0.01 g/kg to a few g/kg, although there are many places where higher salinities are found.onceptually the salinity is the quantity of dissolved salt content of the water. Salts are compounds like sodium chloride, magnesium sulfate, potassium nitrate, and sodium bicarbonate which dissolve into ions.
Palatal Expansion. Palatal expansion is a combination of tooth movement and jaw expansion. It works by widening the two halves of the upper jaw, called the palate. The two halves are joined together by a 'suture' in the middle of the roof of the mouth.
The palatal expander works by gently expanding the roof of the mouth and upper jaw. Timing is the key to this deviceâs efficiency. It is designed to capitalize on changes in tooth and jaw development unlike braces, which can work at any age. Problems that may be treatable with a palate expander include:
