Best answer
  • Around 5° N and S of the equator, in the equatorial calm belt, the sky is cloudy for a long period of time and convectional rainfall occurs every day.
  • Large rivers like Congo and Amazon in the equatorial regions meet the sea. 
  • Therefore, supply of freshwater abundant too. 
  • But because of higher temperatures, rate of evaporation is more and therefore, the seas in these areas are more saline.
