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.

What is a watershed and how does annual rainfall affect it?
A watershed is an area of land where all the water drains into a common waterway, such as a river, lake, or ocean. Annual rainfall affects a watershed by determining the amount of water that flows through it. Higher rainfall can lead to increased runoff and potential flooding, while lower rainfall can lead to drought conditions and reduced water availability in the watershed.
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. =)
What are the two main factors that affect the amount of erosion?
Rock type Elevation Precipitation
Fresh water enters the ocean by?
Rivers and rain are the two that I can think of.
How much rain does the ocean get?
It rains up to 250000000 galoons of water a month
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.

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. =)
What does not affect ocean salinity?
Rainfall does not directly affect ocean salinity, as rainwater is freshwater and dilutes the salt content in the ocean. Other factors such as evaporation, ice formation, and river input can influence ocean salinity levels.
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.
What are factors affect the climate of Africa?
Factors that affect the climate of Africa include proximity to the equator, the presence of mountain ranges, ocean currents, and the distribution of land and water. These elements influence temperature, rainfall patterns, and seasons across the continent.
How does evaporation affect the ocean and the atmosphere?
makes the ocean water saltier
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 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.
