Why is sea and ocean water is salty?
because of the minerals present on the sea bed
Why sea water has minerals like salts in it?
Sea water contains minerals like salts because it is sourced from various processes, such as erosion of rocks, volcanic activity, and dissolution of minerals from the earth's crust. These processes release salts and other mineral compounds into rivers, which ultimately flow into the oceans. Over time, the accumulation of these minerals in the ocean results in the high salinity and mineral content of sea water.
What are made of sediments that have been weathered and eroded from minerals dissolved in sea water?
sedimentation
How do underwater plants get energy?
Just like land plants they need oxygen, water (with minerals) and sunlight, but they get the oxygen from the water, the water and minerals from the sea and they usually live in shallow water to get as much sunlight as possible.
What minerals are commonly available in sea water due to weathering and erosion?
Sand, dirt, salt.
Why sea water dissolves minerals readily?
The sea water don't dissolve minerals readily.
Why is sea and ocean water is salty?
because of the minerals present on the sea bed
How could you reduce the need to mine minerals?
Recycling, extracting minerals from the seabed and from sea water.
Why sea water dissolves all types of minerals?
It doesn't
Is sea water really water?
yes it is water mixed with salt and other minerals such as iodine
Why is sea water more dense then fresh water?
Sea water is more dense because the minerals, especially salt, make it more dense.

Over time, the accumulation of these minerals in the ocean results in the high salinity and mineral content of sea water.
What kind of rocks form from evaporated sea water?
These minerals are called evaporites.
Is sea water an mixture?
It must be. Minerals and salts are dissolved in the liquid, but do not react with the water. No reaction, no compound.
How cold is the water at antarctica?
Water implies liquid. The sea ice can be measured down to about 28 degrees F before it freezes, because of the minerals contained in sea water.
Is there more then one reason that the sea is salty?
yes there is various minerals in it, the sea water is a certain temp for certian animals,
What minerals dissolve in sea water?
They are washed down by rivers and added by rainfall. They also leach into the seawater from the sea bed
