What are the five most abundant elements in earth's ocean?

Answer 1

Hydrogen and oxygen as ocean water is still water with some dissolved solutes.

The most common elements in seas salt are sodium and chlorine.

Ocean water is salty.

The salt of the Ocean, depends on the Climate, Temperature, and the Depth of the Ocean.

Salinity is the measure of how much salt there is in a volume of a material, so let's say that we have a kilogram container were going to fill it in with salt water let's say we put one kilogram in it.What we do is we let the salt sun shine on it then the water will go away, 1 kg=1,000 milometers of water you would be left with = 35 grams of salt. Salt= Nacl = Sodium chloride

Hotter water= saltier water

Water movement effect the salt.

Water movement a bay Gulf of Mexico so the salt sits there.

If the water sit still it's going to be salty

Surface temperature changes because more direct sunlight.

The salinity as you go down the salinity decreases.

You get the saltiest amount at the surface.

Answer 2

The ocean being made of water, hydrogen and oxygen are the most common elements in the ocean. Also, the ocean is made up of salt water, so, sodium, chlorine, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, and potassium are abundant in the ocean. There is about 86% oxygen, 11% hydrogen and each of the rest is less than 2%.

Answer 3

Hydrogen and Oxygen make up sea water, however there is a large amount of Sodium Chloride (Sea Salt) and other metals such as Magnesium, Pottassium (etc)

However, with increased amount of Global Warming and Greenhouse gases, there is a profound amount of Carbon-14 and Sulphur to be found.

Answer 4

The 4 most abundant elements in the ocean are probably hydrogen and oxygen, you know, H20? The other two would probably be clhorine and sodium for the salt in the ocean.

Answer 5

Hydrogen (H)

Oxygen (O)

Sodium (Na)

Answer 6

These elements are: sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine and of course oxygen and hydrogen from water.
