Is it true or false that all precipitation is made of fresh water not salt water?
true .
Why does the ocean have salt water?
The oceans contain salt water because salt is an abundant mineral on earth, it is dissolved in water and washed into oceans, and, because of the way the water cycle operates, precipitation continues to wash salt into the world's oceans. That salt that ends up in the sea stays there when the water evaporates. This has been happening for millions of years, and what we see today as salty ocean water has been a characteristic of earth's oceans for about as long as liquid water has been on earth.
How does salt get out of the ocean?
Saltwater will stay salty as long as there are dissolved salts within the water. Once these salts precipitate to form salt crystals the water will no longer be salty. However, the temperature and amount of salt in the water will control the rate of salt precipitation and therefore, the length of time the water stays salty.
How role does precipitation play in the water cycle?
Precipitation plays the role of accelerating water back to the atmosphere for another proceses
How do you perform a Salt Precipitation Experiment?
Acid+Base/Alkali
Water for a given biome?
precipitation
What is formed from the chemical precipitation of minerals from water?
Salt beds.
When a rock forms by precipitation and aggregation of minerals from a solution, it is classified as a ________ sedimentary rock.?
Chemical sedimentary rocks form by precipitation of minerals from water. Precipitation is when dissolved materials come out of water. For example: Take a glass of water and pour some salt (halite) into it. The salt will dissolve into the water.
Is it true or false that all precipitation is made of fresh water not salt water?
true .
What three tests that can distinguish salt water?
distillation, precipitation, transpiration
What is formed from evaporation or precipitation of seawater?
When sea water evaporates it leaves the salt behind and takes the water into orbit
What process does not add salt to seawater?
Precipitation, land water runoff and the melting of icebergs do not add salts to seawater.
Water evaporated from over the oceans produces precipitation of fresh water because?
Only water vapor molecules evaporate (not salt molecules)
What are the two factors that control the concentration of salt in seawater?
Well there may be more than two. The rivers flow into the sea, thus diluting the salt, but salt carried by the river will increase the salt content. Salt may be removed by precipitation, but only if the concentration becomes great.
Is precipitation salt water or fresh water?
I'm pretty sure it's fresh water but maybe sometimes it could have small amounts of sodium in it.
Does precipitation occur when you mix hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide?
Yes, the precipitate will be salt and the clear liquid water.
How can precipitation be useful?
Precipitation is usually considered to be rain or snow. We need that rain and snow to keep plants alive so we have food and oxygen. It is also usefull for drinking water. when the water evaporates it leave the ocean salt/chemicals behind.
