This measure is called concentration, expressed in g/L.

Dissolved salts are transported by the rivers.
It is dissolved salts, gases, and nutrients that are presented in seawater.
Yes, the measure of the amount of dissolved salts in seawater is typically expressed as grams of salt per kilogram of water, which is known as seawater salinity. The unit used for this measurement is parts per thousand (ppt) or practical salinity units (psu).
yes
5 grams
The average salinity of seawater is about 35 grams of dissolved salts per kilogram of seawater, or 3.5% by weight.
About 86% of the dissolved salts in seawater are major salts, which include sodium chloride (table salt), magnesium chloride, and sulfate ions. These major salts make up the majority of the total dissolved solids present in seawater.
Approximately 30 -40 grams of salts per kg
The total dissolved solids (TDS) in seawater typically range from 33,000 to 37,000 parts per million (ppm). This measurement includes salts, minerals, and other dissolved substances present in seawater.
Rainfall is NOT one of the sources of dissolved salts in seawater. Salt in seawater comes from the erosion of rocks on land, underwater volcanic activity, and the release of minerals from hydrothermal vents.
Seawater, underground aquifers, and mineral springs typically contain dissolved salts and minerals. These dissolved substances contribute to the flavor and composition of the water, and are essential for the health of aquatic life.
