because of the animals
OK the person up there doesn't know what they're talking about, because what makes animals salty? THINK my science book has facts, and it says
" salts have collected on the bottom of the ocean floor for billions of years. as rivers and streams flow toward the ocean, they dissolve minerals from the land. the running water carries these dissolved minerals to the ocean."
therefore it does help make the ocean salty
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of minerals deposited by water?
Minerals deposited by water are known as evaporites. These minerals are formed when water evaporates and leaves behind dissolved minerals that then precipitate out of the solution and accumulate. Examples of evaporite minerals include halite (salt), gypsum, and calcite.
Why does saltwater?
Water that contains salt is salt water. it contains salt and minerals.
What are evaporate deposits?
Evaporite deposits are formed when water evaporates from a body of water, leaving behind minerals that were dissolved in the water. These minerals include salt compounds like halite (rock salt) and gypsum. Evaporite deposits are commonly found in arid regions where evaporation rates are high.
How do salt formed?
Salt is formed through a chemical process called evaporation, where water containing dissolved salts evaporates and leaves behind the salt crystals. This process usually occurs in saltwater bodies like oceans, seas, or salt flats. The minerals in the water form salt crystals as the water evaporates, which can then be collected and processed for consumption.
What is salt formed by the natural evaporation of sea water?
The salt formed by the natural evaporation of sea water is known as sea salt. It typically retains trace minerals and elements from the ocean, giving it a slightly different flavor profile compared to table salt. Sea salt is often used in cooking and as a finishing salt.
What is formed from the chemical precipitation of minerals from water?
Salt beds.
What minerals form from evaporation?
Gypsum and Halite are both formed from the body of salt-water.
Are stalagmites formed from water containing salt?
No, stalagmites are formed from mineral deposits left behind by dripping water in caves. The water may contain dissolved minerals, but the presence of salt specifically is not a necessary component for stalagmite formation.
What is the name of minerals deposited by water?
Minerals deposited by water are known as evaporites. These minerals are formed when water evaporates and leaves behind dissolved minerals that then precipitate out of the solution and accumulate. Examples of evaporite minerals include halite (salt), gypsum, and calcite.
Are the stalagmites formed from water containing salt?
No, stalagmites are typically formed by water dripping down from the roof of a cave and depositing calcite minerals. The presence of salt in the water can sometimes influence the formation of unique mineral structures within stalagmites, but salt itself is not the primary component in stalagmite formation.
Why does saltwater?
Water that contains salt is salt water. it contains salt and minerals.
What sedimentary rock is made from solution of dissolved minerals and water?
Some limestones are made by precipitation of dissolved calcium carbonate. Some cherts are formed from dissolved silicates in thermal springs and evaporite minerals, such as gypsum and rock salt (halite) are formed by evaporation of water from solutions of dissolved minerals.
Are stalagmites made from water containing salt?
No, stalagmites are formed from calcium carbonate deposits left behind by dripping water in caves. The water does not contain salt but rather minerals that have been dissolved from the surrounding rock. Over time, these minerals build up and solidify into the stalagmite formations.
What are evaporate deposits?
Evaporite deposits are formed when water evaporates from a body of water, leaving behind minerals that were dissolved in the water. These minerals include salt compounds like halite (rock salt) and gypsum. Evaporite deposits are commonly found in arid regions where evaporation rates are high.
What forms when minerals dissolved in a water solution crystallize?
Non-Clastic, or chemical, sedimentary rock is formed from dissolved minerals. These rocks are made of chemical sediments that have been dissolved from minerals. Solid minerals precipitate out of the solution in water. These minerals layer, and the water above them causes the pressure which forms the rock.
What kind of sedimentary rock is made from solutions of dissolve minerals and water?
Some limestones are made by precipitation of dissolved calcium carbonate. Some cherts are formed from dissolved silicates in thermal springs and evaporite minerals, such as gypsum and rock salt (halite) are formed by evaporation of water from solutions of dissolved minerals.
