Why is salt in water?
1. The most important part of the sodium and chlorine are dissolved from the earth salts and transported by rivers in seas/oceans.2. A small part of chlorine is originated from the eruptions of submarine volcanoes.
How are minerals formed in salt water?
because of the animals OK the person up there doesn't know what they're talking about, because what makes animals salty? THINK my science book has facts, and it says " salts have collected on the bottom of the ocean floor for billions of years. as rivers and streams flow toward the ocean, they dissolve minerals from the land. the running water carries these dissolved minerals to the ocean." therefore it does help make the ocean salty
Why seawater is salty?
when the rain falls on the land it flows into to the river and the rivers flows for longer distance so it absorbs some minerals in the soil and atlast it drains into the sea. Hence the sea contains some dissolved compounds. So it tastes salty.
How is the sea salty?
Salt is dissolved from the earth and transported by rivers in seas/oceans.
Technically there are no salt in seawater How can that be?
Salt is dissolved in the mountains and then transported in seas and oceans by rivers.
When minerals are dissolved how are the resulting ions carried by rivers?
in solution
Do salts that are dissolved in rivers come from icicles?
No, they are from rocks and minerals.
Were do the dissolved salts in ocean water come from?
salt in the ocean comes from dissolved minerals in rocks carried by streams and rivers, and especially from hydrothermal vents at the ocean floor. When water evaporates from the ocean, the minerals (salts) stay behind, so this salt doesn't go away, but only accumulates over time. Inland lakes generally have rivers leading in AND rivers leading out, so the water is constantly moving through, which keep them fresh.
What are the names of the mountains by the great salt lake?
eroded from mountains dissolved in rivers and carried to the Great Salt Lake

What is dissolved load in rivers?
Dissolved organic and inorganic ions constitute the dissolved load in rivers.

Where do salts that are dissolved in rivers come from?
These salts are dissolved from the Earth rocks.
How do dissolved salts enter seawater?
Dissolved salts are transported by the rivers.
The salts in the sea come from?
Weathering of soil and rock to produce water soluble salts, which are carried to the sea by rivers that run into it.
Why are quartz grains and clay particles the most common lithogenous sediments conveyed to the ocean?
Lithogenous sediment particles are produced by wind and water erosion and weathering of terrestrial rocks. During weathering, easily dissolved minerals are removed, leaving mostly siliceous minerals including quartz, feldspars, and clay minerals. Clay minerals are layered structures of silicon, aluminum, and oxygen atoms, some containing iron and other elements. They are then carried to the oceans by rivers, glaciers, and winds, or eroded from coastlines by waves.
Why is the ocean water salt?
Salt is dissolved from the Earth and transported by rivers in seas and oceans.
