Who owns the oceans minerals?
The coastal nations own the minerals.
Which minerals are formed in oceans and seas?
by -----------------
How can fresh water be obtained from the oceans?
Of all the minerals
Do all minerals come from the oceans?
No. There's the crust, mantle, etc. which also contain minerals.
What liquid are the oceans made of?
The oceans are primarily made of water. This water contains dissolved salts and other minerals, which give the oceans their characteristic salinity.
What is the major source of calcium and sodium in oceans?
Minerals dissolved in aquifers
What nutrients can lakes rivers and oceans provide?
they can provide water, minerals, and food
Where on earth are minerals found?
Minerals make up the rocks of earth, so minerals are found wherever there are rocks at the surface. Water too is a mineral so this includes the oceans.
Describe the oceans and explain how the water cycle affects the salinity of the ocean?
Oceans are big water bodies. Salinity is due to the presence of minerals in water.
Do oceans produce sugar instead of salt?
No, oceans do not produce sugar. They contain salt due to the presence of dissolved minerals like sodium and chloride. Sugar is produced by plants through the process of photosynthesis, not by oceans.
Does water and food have minerals?
Food contains minerals. Pure water (perfectly distilled water) contains no minerals, but naturally occurring water (lakes, oceans, streams, underground water) contains dissolved minerals.
Why 97 percent of the water is salty?
The majority of Earth's water is salty due to the continuous process of erosion, which carries dissolved minerals into the oceans. This, in combination with volcanic activity releasing minerals and salts into water bodies, contributes to the high salinity of our oceans. Additionally, evaporation of water from the oceans leaves the salts behind, further concentrating the salt content over time.
