Because of erosion, rotting vegetation, and other impurities dissolved in runoff water, rivers contain an average of about 12 grams of dissolved salts in each 100 kilograms of water. The rivers of the world send about 3 billion tonnes of salts to the ocean each year. Oceans also get some salt from volcanoes and hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, but most come from rivers flowing into the oceans. The salts from rivers stay in the oceans when seawater evaporates during the water cycle, making the average amount of salt in seawater almost 300 times as much as in river water.
