Why oceanic water dissolves so many sediments rocks and salts?
Oceanic water dissolves sediments, rocks, and salts due to its composition of various ions like sodium, chloride, magnesium, and calcium. These ions enable the water to break down minerals in the sediments and rocks, carrying them away in solution. Additionally, the continuous movement and turbulence of ocean currents help in the process of dissolving and transporting these materials.
Are shells inorganic or organic?
Shells are organic sediments.
What percent of the ocean consists of dissolved salts?
Approximately 3.5% of the ocean consists of dissolved salts, mostly sodium and chloride ions. This gives the ocean its characteristic salinity.
What two salts are found in ocean salt water?
The most important is sodium chloride; other salts are magnesium, potassium, calcium chlorides and of course many minor salts.
What temperature is ocean water likely to contain more dissolved salts 30 degrees or 15 degrees?

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
Are earthquakes a source of ocean salts?
yes earthquakes are a source of ocean salts by the great shake
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
How does the sea stay salty in the water cycle?
The sea remains salty due to the continuous process of erosion and weathering of rocks on land, which release minerals, including salts, into rivers that eventually flow into the ocean. While water evaporates from the surface of the sea, leaving the salts behind, this process does not remove the dissolved salts themselves. Additionally, volcanic activity and hydrothermal vents contribute further salts to the ocean. Thus, the balance of salt input from land and geological sources, combined with the evaporation of water, keeps the ocean salty.
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.
What percent of the ocean consists of dissolved salts?
Approximately 3.5% of the ocean consists of dissolved salts, mostly sodium and chloride ions. This gives the ocean its characteristic salinity.
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.
