The ocean and salt balance is primarily regulated through processes like evaporation, precipitation, river runoff, and ocean circulation. Evaporation removes water but leaves salts behind, increasing salinity, while precipitation dilutes seawater. Rivers contribute freshwater, balancing salt concentrations, and ocean currents help distribute salinity globally. Additionally, biological processes, such as the uptake and release of salt by marine organisms, play a role in maintaining this balance.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the melting of the ice caps lower the concentration of salt in the ocean?
The ice caps are made of freshwater.
How does the ocean's salinity remain the same always?
The ocean's salinity remains the same because of all of the salt spray. It is always spitting out salt from the ocean. Also the sea life uses the salt in various ways. Another reason is that rocks take salt from the ocean as they form over time.
Can walking in ocean salt make a person retain fluid?
Salt is not going to get into the body through the skin if you walk in it, you have to actually eat or drink it for it to get into your body and affect your fluid balance.
How does sun effect the salt in the ocean?
The Sun does not effect the salt in the ocean.
What is regulated primarily by the buffering action of proteins?
pH balance
What are the probable sources of salt in the atmosphere?
the ocean. water from the ocean evaporates into the air, ocean water has salt in it.
Is the Atlantic Ocean a freshwater ocean?
Ocean Atlantique (Atlantic Ocean) is salt water, as all oceans are.
Why do Hammerhead sharks live in the ocean and not in salt water?
the ocean is salt water because the rocks in the ocean when the water brushes over the rocks give off salt but if you are talking about justregular salt and water it is because the salt is different from the salt in the ocean which the hammerhead sharks can not adapt to it as well
Is the Atlantic Ocean fresh or salt water?
Like all oceans and seas, the Atlantic Ocean is salt water.
Does ocean water have all of the properties of salt?
No, because ocean water is not salt. Ocean water does have salt dissolved in it, but there are distinct chemical and physical differences. First, ocean water is not crystalline while salt is. Second, ocean water is a solution with many different solutes while salt is a pure compound.
Why do they call ocean water salt water?
because ocean water has salt in it and lots of it..
Is the Antarctic ocean salt or freshwater?
