Question

why is ocean water of limited use to humans ? what makes it a resource ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ocean water is not fit for human use due to the high salt content. It contains about 10,000-35,000 ppm of dissolved salts. Such a large amount of salt can cause dehydration if used for drinking purposes. Ocean water is an important resource as it is responsible for climate changes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ocean water is of limited use to human beings mainly because of the fact that it is saline in nature. Even though this limits our use of ocean water, it does not change the fact that we are heavily dependent on ocean water both knowingly and unknowingly.

It regulates Earth's climate. The ocean is an increasingly important source of biomedical organisms with enormous potential for fighting disease.
