Question

why the ocean water is salty

Answer 1

HI MATE,

SALT IN THE OCEAN COMES FROM ROCKS ON LAND. THE RAIN THAT FALLS ON THE LAND CONTAINS SOME DISSOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE SURROUNDING AIR. THIS CAUSES THE RAINWATER TO BE HIGHLY ACIDIC DUE TO CARBONIC ACID (WHICH COMES FROM CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER).

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.....☺☺☺☺

Answer 2

ocean water is salty because it contains dissolved salts and minerals in it which imparts salinity to it. River falls into oceans which carry with themselves salts of soil and thus when so many rivers with soil salts fall into ocean then the sea water becomes salty

hope this answer helpful to you
