An estuary is a place where seawater and freshwater mix. Your tap water is treated water from which organisms and excess ions have been removed. That rain-washed all sorts of particles and chemicals into the ocean. After a few million years, it evened out and the amount of things coming into the ocean equaled the amount leaving. It's a term called equilibrium.

Does heavy rainfall make ocean water more or less dense?
Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)
How does the warming of the ocean affect the water?
it increases the evaporation water.
What property of ocean water affect climate the most?
Its heat capacity
How does gravity affect ocean water?
Without gravity, everything including ocean water would fly anywhere if acted upon by an outside force.
What percentage of precipitation falls into the ocean?
The total amount of water as a percentage of all the mass that makes up our planet is estimated at 0.023%. A little over 2/3 of the Earth is covered by water; to be more precise, the consensus is 70.8% (71%) of the surface is water, 29.2 % is land.
How does the Sun raising the ocean temperature affect rainfall on land?
The warm water evaporates. The water vapor returns to the land as rain.
Does heavy rainfall make ocean water more or less dense?
Heavy rainfall makes water less dense because an increase in salinity leads to an increase in density. Rain does not contain any salt. Therefore heavy rainfall makes ocean water less dense. =)
How does wind affect ocean waters?
it affect ocean water because if the air is warm the air can go pass the water and it can make water temperature high
Two things that can affect the temperature of ocean water?
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
How do rivers affect the ocean?
They add more water to the ocean.
How does warm ocean temperature affect rainfall on land?
Warm ocean temperatures can provide additional moisture to the atmosphere, resulting in increased evaporation. This moist air can then move over land and when it encounters cooler air or triggers weather systems, it can lead to increased rainfall. Additionally, warm ocean temperatures can also influence the formation and intensity of tropical cyclones, which can result in heavy rainfall.
How does evaporation affect the ocean and the atmosphere?
makes the ocean water saltier
How does the warming of the ocean affect the water?
it increases the evaporation water.
Does the water currents affect the weather?
Yes as do large bodies of water causing cooling effect and replenishing rainfall
How does a salt marsh affect ocean water?
The salt marsh can leak into the ocean, causing the ocean to be saltier. OR The marshes are no where near the ocean, so they can't affect it at all.
How do winds affect ocean waters?
Winds affect ocean water by blowing the water across making ocean currents and changing the temperature. Catastrophic Events? Me too.
Average rainfall for the Atlantic ocean?
70% of all the rainfall or more.
