Why does the addition of rain and river water to the ocean not decrease the ocean's overall?
The addition of rain and river water to the ocean does not decrease its overall salinity because rain and river water are fresh water sources with low salinity levels. While these sources do mix with the ocean water, the vast volume of the ocean dilutes the impact of the fresh water input, thus maintaining the ocean's overall salinity.
Why do particles carried by a river settle to the bottom as the river enters the ocean?
Particles settle at the mouth of a river when the river water mixes with the calmer ocean water, causing a decrease in flow velocity. This reduction in velocity leads to sediment settling as the river's capacity to transport particles decreases. Additionally, the ocean's higher salinity can also play a role in causing sediment particles to settle due to changes in water density.
What is an extremely fertile area where a river meet an ocean?
An area where a river meets an ocean is called an estuary. Estuaries are extremely fertile because they receive a mix of fresh water from the river and salt water from the ocean, creating a unique environment that supports a diverse range of plant and animal species.

What is Solute silica?
Solute silica refers to dissolved silica present in a solution, typically in water. It represents the amount of silica that has been dissolved and is in the liquid phase rather than in solid form. Silica can be found naturally in many water sources and can impact water quality and the environment.
Can rivers start in an ocean?
No the definition of a river is fresh water running from higher ground to lower usually ending up in the ocean.

What are the human impacts on the Murray-Darling river?
The human's impacts to Murray-Darling river are wastes the water, throw rubbishes and pour the toxic waste. The most human's impact to river is pouring toxic into river. Because toxic waste is poisonous, so if someone in a factory pours toxic waste into the river, the poison will spread into the river. So the poison water flows into ocean. But while the water flows into the ocean, the fishes drink the poison water also the water flows into the ground and the ground grows poison plants

Ground water, surface water, river water, etc.
How does water stay in a river?
It doesn't. All rivers eventually lead to the ocean. But if you mean why doesn't it flow out onto the ground, the pressure of the water kinda digs a "tunnel" and if you see a river, you will notice that the river level if lower that you are. Hope ths helps!
