Seawater is a mixture of various salts and water. Only six elements and compounds comprise about 99% of sea salts: chlorine, sodium, sulfur, magnesium, calcium and potassium. The relative abundance of the major salts in seawater is constant regardless of the ocean. Only the amount of water in the mixture varies because of differences between ocean basins because of regional differences in freshwater loss (evaporation) and gain (runoff and precipitation). The chlorine ion makes up 55% of the salt in seawater.
What else can I help you with?
Where did the water of the ocean come from?
the main source for the ocean water is the rain and spring water and water coming and adding from the rivers
What are the differences between salt water and fresh water?
the difference between salt water and fresh water is that salt water is from the ocean and fresh water is water that hasn't gotten to the ocean and so the water is clean, And you can only drink fresh water not salt water
Clouds form when water vapor in the air?
movement of water ocean to cloud and return from cloud to ocean.
How do the material that makes water salty enter into the waterway?
The material that makes water salty is, you guessed it, salt! When various minerals are chemically weathered, they release there various constituents, and these then travel, dissolved in water, into the ocean. The water in the ocean then evaporates, rains, and flows back into the ocean loaded with more salt. The effect of this is to increase the concentration of salt in the ocean such that it seems "salty" to us.
Water moves from land to the atmosphere through?
The movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere, to the land, and back to the ocean is called the water cycle. The water cycle consists of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
How did the water get in to the ocean?
The water got in the ocean by the volcano's exploding and the vapor got in the ocean and that created the ocean water.
