What can increase the amount of minerals in a local area of ocean water?
When it rains, this helps wash minerals into the ocean from the land, which will add more minerals into an area of ocean water. Also, the formation of sea ice can also increase the amount of minerals.
How is salt water diffirent then freshwater?
Ocean water has more chemicals in solution than 'freshwater.' The highest concentration being salts in ocean water, hence, saltwater but there are many other chemicals and elements dissolved in sea water, including gold!
Nutrient with the highest body concentration?
Water
How do the material that makes water salty enter into the waterway?
The material that makes water salty is, you guessed it, salt! When various minerals are chemically weathered, they release there various constituents, and these then travel, dissolved in water, into the ocean. The water in the ocean then evaporates, rains, and flows back into the ocean loaded with more salt. The effect of this is to increase the concentration of salt in the ocean such that it seems "salty" to us.
Why does evaporation result in ocean water becoming saltier?
Evaporation causes ocean water to become saltier because when water evaporates, only the water molecules leave, while the salt and other minerals remain behind. This process leaves the remaining water with a higher concentration of salt, making it saltier.
What does an ocean's salinity refer to?
The concentration of salt in the water.
Ocean water has a higher what than fresh water?
Ocean water has a higher salinity than fresh water.
Can salt water from the ocean be changed to freshwater by the water cycle?
no it can not because the minerals in the ocean are at a higher level then fresh water.
Does concentration of salt go up or down when water evaporates from an ocean?
The concentration of salt increases when water evaporates from the ocean because only water evaporates, leaving the salt behind. This process is known as "evaporative concentration" and is one of the reasons why ocean water is saline.
How does ocean get salt water?
The rocks on the shore of the ocean are filled with minerals and with every wave that comes in it brings minerals out. AKA Salt.
Why is ocean water not good to drink?
Ocean water is not drinkable because the concentration of sodium chloride is very great.
Why density of ocean water is greater than the density of tap water?
