Rivers form at high ground where water vapor becomes cold and condenses into rain. Rivers almost always feed into the Ocean eventually. River water is generally high in nutrients, good for irrigation and farming, drinkable, and contains about 1 part per thousand salt content. Ocean water is undrinkable. It is an extremely expensive process to desalinate ocean water for mass consumption. Ocean water contains a much higher salt content, because rivers have deposited salt into the oceans for millions of years. Ocean water contains about 35 parts per thousand. Also Oceans differ from rivers in that they support the thermohaline cycle, which transfers heat from the equator to colder regions of the world.

What are the rivers connected with the oceans?
Some rivers connected with oceans include the Amazon River in South America, the Nile River in Africa, the Mississippi River in North America, and the Ganges River in Asia. These rivers flow into the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The oceans saltiness is the same in all locations?
The level of saltiness in the oceans can vary depending on factors such as evaporation, precipitation, and river runoff. Salinity can be higher in regions where evaporation is high and lower in areas with more rainfall or freshwater input from rivers. This variability results in different salinity levels in different locations within the oceans.
