Question

Rivers from land , add minerals to sea water . Discuss how

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Water is capable of dissolving a large number of substances. As water flows over the rocks containing soluble minerals, some of them get dissolved in the water. Thus, rivers carry many nutrients from land to the sea.

Answer 2

Rivers from land add minerals to sea water in the following way -

• Rivers flow through long land region before meeting with the ocean.

• In this long journey through the land region,the river water erodes different types of minerals present in the river bed and river banks.

• This eroded minerals are dissolved in the river water, because water has a great amount of dissolving property.

• Now,the dissolved mineral in the river water gets mixed into the sea water,when the river meets the ocean.
