How can fish live in salty water when salty water hurts humans with a skin injury?
The ocean has always been salty and it is thought that life evolved in the oceans. This means that salt water fish have mechanisms for dealing with the salt in their environment. However, land animals have adapted to live away from the sea and have developed a waterproof covering (skin) to protect us from drying out. (They sort of carry a bit of the ocean with them). This means that if you were to dip your injury into SEA WATER (which is salty) you would NOT find this painful. The water must be made MORE SALTY than sea water before it would hurt. Water this salty would also hurt most fish.
Why it is so easy to swim in sea water than swimming pool?
Sea water contains lots of dissolved salts. Thus the density of the salty sea water is more than that of water in swimming pools, and the salty water lifts you more than fresh water, which make swimming easier.
Why is the water in the sea salty?
The water in the sea is salty due to the presence of dissolved minerals and salts that come from the erosion of rocks on land. Rainfall carries these minerals into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean, increasing its salt content over time. Additionally, underwater volcanic activity and hydrothermal vents also contribute to the salinity of seawater.

Why is the lake salty?
The short answer is it's the salt. But I think what you're really asking is how did it get so salty. As fresh water flows through the continents, it picks up salt from the minerals. Then that is dumped into the ocean basin when the water gets to the sea. The water evaporates and returns as rain water, but the minerals stay behind. So after a long time, you get an accumulation of salt in the ocean.
What is the difference between stream water and ocean water?
there is no difference between sea water and ocean water because there the same thing in different words. good guestion though...
