What are the 2 process that add salt to seawater?
The two processes that add salt to seawater are the chemical weathering of rocks on land, which release minerals into rivers that eventually flow into the ocean, and the evaporation of water from the ocean surface, leaving behind salt in the form of halite (table salt).
What process does not add salt to seawater?
Precipitation, land water runoff and the melting of icebergs do not add salts to seawater.
What is happening when you add salt to water?
Depending on how much salt you add to the water and how warm the water is... the salt will disolve
Can a hermit crab have babies in captivity?
No, unfortunately they can't... Hermit crabs lay their eggs in the ocean, they are born without shells, and eat plankton. If you have a very large aquarium, and can manage to make a mini-saltwater ocean inside as well as dry land, it could be possible... Remember that the ocean must have a proper amount of salt! (table salt is harmful to hermit crabs too...)
What are the four things that affect ocean's salinity?
Salinity is affected by temperature of the water, amount of salt per area, how cool it is, and the amount of water per area. If it's hot, the water will evaporate leaving more salt behind. The more salt you add, of course you will have a higher salinity. If it is cold, ice forms and pushes out the salt into the water below. And if you add more water, there will be more water to hold the salt, thus lowering the salinity.
What are two major ways that an ocean can become saltier?
Evaporation: When water evaporates from the ocean's surface, it leaves behind salts, increasing the overall salinity of the water. Formation of sea ice: When sea ice forms, the salt in the water is excluded, leading to the surrounding water becoming saltier.
How much salt do you use to make salt water?
To match the average salinity of ocean water, add 35 grams of salt to 1 liter of water.
What can increase the amount of minerals in a local area of ocean water?
When it rains, this helps wash minerals into the ocean from the land, which will add more minerals into an area of ocean water. Also, the formation of sea ice can also increase the amount of minerals.
Where can salt be found?
Salt water accounts for 97.5% of all water on Earth. The oceans, seas and bays are salt water and represent 96.5% of all water on Earth. Another 1% exists as saline ground water. See related links.
When do you add salt to water when boiling potatoes?
Add the salt to the water before you add the potatoes. If you are boiling potatoes with the intention of mashing them, don't add salt at all.
Can you turn drinking water into salt water?
just add salt to it
What will happen to salt when you add water?
