Ocean water contains dissolved salt and solids. It contains sodium Chloride, other salts, and minerals. It also contains dissolved gases such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon dioxide. If you are wondering how the ocean contains salt, it is because there's salt in rocks. Salt in rocks get washed in by rains and rivers. Also if you are wondering how the gases get into the ocean, it is because of the waves, and animals in the ocean. Animals add carbon dioxide, and plants add oxygen. I hope this helped.
Have a great day
What else can I help you with?
Where is most of the salt water stored?
Most of the salt water on Earth is stored in the oceans. The ocean contains about 97% of the Earth's water, and this water is salty due to dissolved minerals and salts.
What is four fresh water that is not readily available?
Desalinated water - water that has had its salt and minerals removed to make it suitable for consumption.
When a rock forms by precipitation and aggregation of minerals from a solution, it is classified as a ________ sedimentary rock.?
Chemical sedimentary rocks form by precipitation of minerals from water. Precipitation is when dissolved materials come out of water. For example: Take a glass of water and pour some salt (halite) into it. The salt will dissolve into the water.
What would be left in the ocean if all water evaporated?
Masive amounts of salts, minerals, dead sea creatures, boats etc.
What are three common evaporite minerals?
Three common evaporite minerals are halite (rock salt), gypsum, and calcite. These minerals form from the evaporation of water containing dissolved ions, leading to the precipitation of these minerals on the Earth's surface. Evaporite minerals are often found in arid environments like salt flats and dried-up lake beds.
What are the 4 kinds minerals?
Salt, sugar, fat and protein
Why does saltwater?
Water that contains salt is salt water. it contains salt and minerals.
Why is the water in oceans salty?
It is because when the rivers pour water in seas they carry some minerals along with them which contains mostly NaCl(Common Salt) which gives a salty taste to the oceans water. One more reason for it is that the sea bed contains silt which also has Common Salt contained in it.It is because when the rivers pour water in seas they carry some minerals along with them which contains mostly NaCl(Common Salt) which gives a salty taste to the oceans water.

Why salt can dissolve in water?
The reason why salt cannot disolve in water , is because salt is a mineral, and minerals do not disolve in water.
Does sea water has a higher density than pure water?
Yes, sea water has a higher density than pure water due to the presence of dissolved salts and minerals. The higher density of sea water allows objects to float more easily in it compared to pure water.
What are provided by water and dissolved minerals?
Salt
What rocks can be eaten by human?
Rocks can't literally be eaten by humans but the minerals contained in them can. Salt, potassium, magnesium, and iron are all minerals that are found in rocks.
How does ocean get salt water?
The rocks on the shore of the ocean are filled with minerals and with every wave that comes in it brings minerals out. AKA Salt.
What happens to any minerals and salt in water that has been completely evaporated?
The minerals precipitate out of the solution. This is one of the methods of obtaining salt - large shallow pieces of land are filled with seawater. When the water evaporates it leaves salt and other minerals (such as calcium) at the base of the land.
What is formed from the chemical precipitation of minerals from water?
Salt beds.
What minerals that may be left behind when a body of salt water evaorates?
salt iodine mercury
What is the effect on salt on mass of a potato?
A potato will decrease in mass if salt (sodium chloride) is applied to it. The salt will absorb water which is contained in the potato.
