Why does not rain salty when the clouds are made from the ocean?
Only the water evaporates from the ocean and the salt remains. Mix up a glass of salt water and let it sit until the water evaporates and the glass will contain the same amount of salt you added to it.
What happens when fresh water meets salty ocean water?
There are three types of water. Freshwater, Saltwater, and brackish water. When Fresh water meets salt water is makes brackish water.
A place where fresh water from rivers mixes with salty ocean water is a?
An estuary is the place when river water mixes with seawater (salty ocean water).
Which type of water is not salty and has little or no taste color or smell?
Freshwater is not salty. Saltwater is salty.
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.
Is water that evaporates from the ocean salty or fresh?
It's fresh water. The salt remains in the oceans as the water evaporates.
Why does the Pacific Ocean have more salt?
The Atlantic ocean is very salty because of the effects of the winds around it. Typically, the Atlantic is fed by wind coming off of the United States. This continental wind is often dry, so it brings very little water to the Atlantic. When water from the Atlantic evaporates, it evaporates as freshwater, leaving behind its salt. This evaporated water is then blown by winds into the Pacific Ocean. When this happens, all that is left is salty water.
Is the Atlantic Ocean fresh or salt water?
Like all oceans and seas, the Atlantic Ocean is salt water.
Why is the rivers not salty?
Rivers are not pure freshwater sources of water. As they flow to the ocean, they pick up small amounts of mineral salts. These slightly-salty rivers flow into the ocean, and as this is a continuous flow and there are thousands of rivers, all the salt builds up, causing the oceans to be saturated with salt. Also, because water evaporates and salt does not, the oceans get saltier over time.
How do the material that makes water salty enter into the waterway?
The material that makes water salty is, you guessed it, salt! When various minerals are chemically weathered, they release there various constituents, and these then travel, dissolved in water, into the ocean. The water in the ocean then evaporates, rains, and flows back into the ocean loaded with more salt. The effect of this is to increase the concentration of salt in the ocean such that it seems "salty" to us.
Does water move or circulate between fresh water and salt water?
Yes; rivers run into the ocean at places called Estuaries. What evaporates from the ocean, and is dropped as freshwater in raindrops.
Which melts faster salty water or non salty water?
Water doesn't melt, it evaporates.
Where does freshwater and salty water mix?
in an estuarine
Why is oceans water more salty than average in warm and dry places?
Ocean water is more salty in warm and dry places because when temperature increases the water evaporates and leaves the salt behind increasing salinity.
Why does not rain salty when the clouds are made from the ocean?
Only the water evaporates from the ocean and the salt remains. Mix up a glass of salt water and let it sit until the water evaporates and the glass will contain the same amount of salt you added to it.
True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
Why does the ocean stay salty if fresh water is continuously being added?
Because water evaporates leaving the salt behind and re balancing the ratio between salt and water.
