Are shells inorganic or organic?
Shells are organic sediments.
What percent of the ocean consists of dissolved salts?
99.28%
What term do oceanographers use to describe the amount of dissolved salts in ocean water?
The total amount of dissolved salts in ocean water is referred to as "Salinity". :)
What temperature is ocean water likely to contain more dissolved salts 30 degrees or 15 degrees?
what temperature is ocean water likely to contain more dissolved salts 30 degrees or 15 degrees
What are the dissolved particles in water?
We find that organic and/or inorganic sediments are laid down in water. These sediments are insoluble materials that are transported to the place where they are deposited in a process called (you guessed it) deposition. Materials dissolved in the water (soluble material, like salts and other minerals) may be laid down if the water is evaporated off over time.The sediments that are laid down in water are known as fluvial (deposited in rivers and streams) and lucustrine (lake) sediments.
Is most of the dissolved salts in the ocean come from human activities?
No. Most of the dissolved salts in the ocean come from the rivers emptying into the ocean. As the rivers flow from their sources to their mouths, they erode their channels and pick up salt and sediments from weathered rock, which are deposited into the ocean at their mouths.
Can salts be removed from ocean water by process called saliity?
process called Desalination
The process of 1 removing salts from ocean or brakish water by using various technologies and 2 removing salts from soil by artificial means usually leaching is called?
desalination
Are earthquakes a source of ocean salts?
yes earthquakes are a source of ocean salts by the great shake
Which process does not add salts to seawater?
Storms at sea. The evaporated water falls back into the ocean with no net effect on salinity.
Are shells inorganic or organic?
Shells are organic sediments.
Which has more density tap water or sea water?
Salt water due to sediments of salts.
Where did the salts on the ocean came from?
Salts are dissolved from the Earth by rivers and transported in seas and oceans.
How are salts added to ocean water?
Salts are dissolved from the earth and transported by rivers in oceans.
What are the dissolved salts in the ocean called?
The salts are: sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium chlorides.
How salts collect in the ocean?
Salts are dissolved from the Earth and transported by rivers in seas/oceans.
Chloride accounts for the highest percentage of ocean salts?
Yes, chloride is the most abundant ion in ocean water, making up about 55% of all the salts in the ocean. Sodium follows close behind as the second most abundant ion.
