Most of the salt in the ocean comes from under sea vents but some does come from rocks being eroded Sodium Chloride has a very high residency time as well because it does not evaporate
The salt in the ocean is a natural part of the crust.
In brief, sodium chloride (salt) is a natural component of the rocks, and as erosion and solution take their course, the salt is dissolved and flows to the sea. The sea can absorb a large quantity of salt.
Large bodies of salt water are called seas or oceans.
Salt waters of the Atlantic
Ocean water has salt and other minerals, but fresh water has no salt. Fresh water also has minerals in it, but ocean water has more.
If water is evaporated salt remain in the ocean.
Indian Ocean
Salt comes from rocks. When water wears down rocks at the beach particles of sand are washed into the ocean.
the substances that makes up salt in ocean water is known as a compound. It can come from the rocks , it come from the type of bacteria. Some bacteria may come from the fish and waste within the water and you also have to take in to consideration that a lot of rock in the ocean have salt in them and leaks off in to the water.
leh rocks :D The sea erodes the rocks in the ocean and over time, the rocks become salt
Salt is dissolved from the Earth and transported in oceans/seas by rivers.
The sea.
No. Salt is a relatively common mineral worldwide. While there is such thing as a salt mine, anywhere with access to an ocean or saltwater lake/sea has access to salt.
The Sun does not effect the salt in the ocean.
Salt, water, energy, sand, shells, wind
No. Most of the dissolved salts in the ocean come from the rivers emptying into the ocean. As the rivers flow from their sources to their mouths, they erode their channels and pick up salt and sediments from weathered rock, which are deposited into the ocean at their mouths.
the ocean. water from the ocean evaporates into the air, ocean water has salt in it.
Ocean Atlantique (Atlantic Ocean) is salt water, as all oceans are.
