Seawater is a mixture of various salts and water. Only six elements and compounds comprise about 99% of sea salts: chlorine, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, calcium and potassium. The relative abundance of the major salts in seawater is constant regardless of the ocean. Only the amount of water in the mixture varies because of differences between ocean basins because of regional differences in freshwater loss (evaporation) and gain (runoff and precipitation). The chlorine ion makes up 55% of the salt in seawater.
What else can I help you with?
Oceans have what type of water?
Oceans have salt water.
Why is your oceans important to us?
cause we have water without the oceans we will not have water
What role do oceans play in the water cycle?
oceans provide fresh water for earth through the water cycle
The oceans are separate bodies of water?
No: All of the oceans are a collective body of water.
How much water covers the oceans surface?
The oceans surface is 100% water.
Does most water evaporate into oceans or puddles?
Most water is evaporated from oceans.
What is the largest reservoir of the water cycle?
The oceans. 97% of earth's water is in the oceans.
How much freshwater and saltwater are in oceans?
oceans have salt water, no fresh water.
Does the oceans drive the water cycle supply?
Yes oceans drive water cycle supply. Water is evaporated from oceans.
What terms means the constant movement of the earths water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans?
Water cycle is the term for the constant movement of the earth's water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans
Where is most of the earths water located?
Over 95% of the Earth's water is in the oceans and seas.
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.
