the substances that makes up salt in ocean water is known as a compound. It can come from the rocks , it come from the type of bacteria. Some bacteria may come from the fish and waste within the water and you also have to take in to consideration that a lot of rock in the ocean have salt in them and leaks off in to the water.
What else can I help you with?
How does the water on the land add salt to the ocean?
as water moves over the ground and rocks, it picks up salt and other substances
Ocean water is a complex substance made up of a variety of substances Which property of water helps produce salt water's composition?
Solvent Property
Is salt and pepper pure substances?
Salt and pepper are both considered pure substances because they are composed of only one type of molecule. Salt is made up of sodium chloride (NaCl) molecules, while pepper is made up of various compounds such as piperine. Both salt and pepper maintain consistent chemical compositions throughout, making them pure substances.
When you go swimming in an ocean why don't you shrivel up like the cucumber?
because there is salt in the ocean
What is the salt concentration percent of the ocean?
Dissolved solids make up about 3.5% of the mass of ocean water the dissolved solid is commonly called sea salts.
What happened to the salt ocean water during the water cycle?
when the water evaporates, the salt from the ocean water is left behind. you can try to do this by taking some fresh water and mix it up with salt
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.
Why the water of the ocean is salty?
When water goes to the ocean, most of the time its by a river. When rivers travel over land it picks up particles like salt. When the river meets the ocean at the rivers delta the slowing of the speed of the river causes the bigger sized particles to get deposited at the bottom of the ocean. The smaller particles(salt) remain in the water making the water salty.
Do ocean fish avoid building up excess salt by not drinking water?
No. Ocean fish do not "drink" water; they BREATHE water. Their bodies are in equilibrium with the salt in the oceans.
Did the ice age cause salt to form in the oceans?
No. Salt is washed into the ocean from rivers and picked up from rocks.
What substances are pure substances water tea salt water copper brass air oxygen?
Water, salt water, and oxygen are pure substances because they consist of only one type of molecule. Tea is a mixture of different substances, including water and various phytochemicals. Copper and brass are chemical compounds made up of multiple elements, making them impure substances. Air is a mixture of gases, with nitrogen and oxygen being the main components.
Why does the ocean have salt water?
The oceans contain salt water because salt is an abundant mineral on earth, it is dissolved in water and washed into oceans, and, because of the way the water cycle operates, precipitation continues to wash salt into the world's oceans. That salt that ends up in the sea stays there when the water evaporates. This has been happening for millions of years, and what we see today as salty ocean water has been a characteristic of earth's oceans for about as long as liquid water has been on earth.
