Does the salt from the ocean water evaporate?
When ocean water evaporates, the salt does not evaporate with the water. The water molecules evaporate, leaving the salt behind. This is why seawater is salty, as the salt remains in the ocean as the water evaporates.
How does salt get into the ocean?
Salt gets into the ocean through a process called erosion, where rocks on land break down and release minerals like salt into rivers and streams. These rivers and streams then carry the salt into the ocean, gradually increasing its salinity over time.
How does water of Mississippi river change to salt water when it gets to the ocean?
The Miss. River is fresh water, and when it collides with the Gulf Of Mexico, it mixes with the salt ocean water, thus becoming salt water!!
What is the definition of salt in the water cycle?
Broke down sediment from rocks that gets mixed in the ocean.
Could salt levels raise in the ocean?
Not all the oceans, no. However if an ocean gets cut off from the rest of the oceanic water, then yes the salt levels can rise as the ocean evaporates (such as happened to the Zechstein sea in Europe during the Permian).
What happens to the salt in the clouds after it gets picked up from the ocean?
The salt in the clouds eventually returns to the Earth's surface through precipitation, such as rain or snow. As the water droplets in the clouds condense and form precipitation, they carry the salt with them back to the ground.
Why is the Arctic Ocean saltier than Oceans further south?
It think that salt stays in the water because it gets frozen.
What can rivers carry into the ocean?
they can carry rocks and dirt but if you want to be more pacific than inside the rocks and dirt is salt and once it gets into the ocean the rocks and dirt denigrate and the salt comes out and goes into the ocean and there is also a reason why the ocean is salty.

Does concentration of salt go up or down when water evaporates from an ocean?
The concentration of salt increases when water evaporates from the ocean because only water evaporates, leaving the salt behind. This process is known as "evaporative concentration" and is one of the reasons why ocean water is saline.
How does the sea make salt naturally?
Salt and other minerals come into the sea from rivers. Some of the water evaporates from the ocean (leaving the salt) and more flows in. So the sea gets saltier over time.
What is a good experiment for why is the ocean salty?
One good experiment to demonstrate why the ocean is salty involves using a simulation with a container filled with water and adding salt to it. As the water evaporates, the salt remains behind, showing how salt gets deposited in the ocean over time through processes like evaporation and erosion from rocks. This can help explain why the ocean is salty.
How does sun effect the salt in the ocean?
The Sun does not effect the salt in the ocean.
