Reply to comment by [deleted] in Does the salinity of ocean water increase as depth increases? by rhinotomus

Is there a reason they say spicy rather than, IDK - salty?

Because, as they explained, 'spicy' water is salty and warm. There is a correlation between salinity and temperature in the ocean, but they can be independently modified. In some situations, talking about spiciness might be useful, whereas in other situations (and more commonly) you'd discuss temperature and salinity independently.
