Ocean water contains dissolved salt and solids. It contains sodium Chloride, other salts, and minerals. It also contains dissolved gases such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon dioxide. If you are wondering how the ocean contains salt, it is because there's salt in rocks. Salt in rocks get washed in by rains and rivers. Also if you are wondering how the gases get into the ocean, it is because of the waves, and animals in the ocean. Animals add carbon dioxide, and plants add oxygen. I hope this helped.
Have a great day

Most of earth's water is in the form of what?
most of earth water is made up of well water salt and minerals
What is the vast majority of minerals?
The vast majority of minerals are chemical compounds. Most of the compounds in the world are made up of salt and water.
What forms when minerals dissolved in a water solution crystallize?
Non-Clastic, or chemical, sedimentary rock is formed from dissolved minerals. These rocks are made of chemical sediments that have been dissolved from minerals. Solid minerals precipitate out of the solution in water. These minerals layer, and the water above them causes the pressure which forms the rock.
When a rock forms by precipitation and aggregation of minerals from a solution, it is classified as a ________ sedimentary rock.?
Chemical sedimentary rocks form by precipitation of minerals from water. Precipitation is when dissolved materials come out of water. For example: Take a glass of water and pour some salt (halite) into it. The salt will dissolve into the water.
Is the Pacific Ocean pure substance or a mixture?
Mixture, salt + water + other minerals + fish
What are the 4 kinds minerals?
Salt, sugar, fat and protein
Why does saltwater?
Water that contains salt is salt water. it contains salt and minerals.
Does sea water has a higher density than pure water?
Sea salt and table salt are made of the same chemical compound. They have the same density. Sea salt is slightly less refined than table salt and may contained more minerals.
Why is the water in oceans salty?
It is because when the rivers pour water in seas they carry some minerals along with them which contains mostly NaCl(Common Salt) which gives a salty taste to the oceans water. One more reason for it is that the sea bed contains silt which also has Common Salt contained in it.It is because when the rivers pour water in seas they carry some minerals along with them which contains mostly NaCl(Common Salt) which gives a salty taste to the oceans water.

Why is ocean water more dense than regular fresh water?
Ocean water has salt and other minerals, but fresh water has no salt. Fresh water also has minerals in it, but ocean water has more.
Why salt can dissolve in water?
The reason why salt cannot disolve in water , is because salt is a mineral, and minerals do not disolve in water.
What are provided by water and dissolved minerals?
Salt
What rocks can be eaten by human?
Rocks can't literally be eaten by humans but the minerals contained in them can. Salt, potassium, magnesium, and iron are all minerals that are found in rocks.
How does ocean get salt water?
The rocks on the shore of the ocean are filled with minerals and with every wave that comes in it brings minerals out. AKA Salt.
What happens to any minerals and salt in water that has been completely evaporated?
The minerals precipitate out of the solution. This is one of the methods of obtaining salt - large shallow pieces of land are filled with seawater. When the water evaporates it leaves salt and other minerals (such as calcium) at the base of the land.
What is formed from the chemical precipitation of minerals from water?
Salt beds.
What minerals that may be left behind when a body of salt water evaorates?
salt iodine mercury
