Why is see water salty?

Answer 1

Sean water is salty because when it rains, the rain gets soaked up into the land. It then travels through all the rocks of the earth and then joins rivers and streams back to the sea. So that means, before it ever rained, the people of earth could drink the sea!

Answer 2

Water can only be described as fresh if the salt content is very low or non-existent. If there is any noticeable amount of salt then it would be described as salt water. However, unless the water has actually been distilled, some impurities are to be expected. Small amounts of salt can come from many sources, for example, if you put your hand in the water, there is salt in your perspiration.

Answer 3

Ocean water is salty due to the accumulation of dissolved minerals over millions of years. When freshwater from rivers flows into the ocean, it carries these minerals, such as sodium and chloride, into the water. These minerals remain in the ocean as the water evaporates, leading to the increasing salinity of the water over time.
