When water goes to the ocean, most of the time its by a river. When rivers travel over land it picks up particles like salt. When the river meets the ocean at the rivers delta the slowing of the speed of the river causes the bigger sized particles to get deposited at the bottom of the ocean. The smaller particles(salt) remain in the water making the water salty.
What else can I help you with?
Is the ocean water near the poles less salty?
Yes, ocean water near the poles is less salty compared to ocean water near the equator. This is because melting ice and precipitation in polar regions dilute the salinity of the water.
A place where fresh water from rivers mixes with salty ocean water is a?
estuary. It is a partially enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with salty seawater. Estuaries are rich and productive ecosystems that support diverse marine life.
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
What is a good experiment for why is the ocean salty?
One good experiment to demonstrate why the ocean is salty involves using a simulation with a container filled with water and adding salt to it. As the water evaporates, the salt remains behind, showing how salt gets deposited in the ocean over time through processes like evaporation and erosion from rocks. This can help explain why the ocean is salty.
How much of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is freshwater?
Vapors are contain practically pure water.
Salty ocean water is an example of what type of substance?

How much of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is fresh water?
Only about 10 of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is fresh water.
What does the ocean have?

What oceans are salty?

What is a place where rivers flow into oceans and have very salty water but not as salty as the ocean?
The place where a river flows into an ocean and fresh water mixes with salt water is known as a delta. The water that is less salty than seawater is known as brackish water.
What is 97 percent of the water on earth?
