Why is the sea salty?
Seventy percent of the world is covered in water. Most of the water is salty. Why is the sea salty? In this explanation, I will provide you why the sea is salty.
The salt in the ocean, comes from the soil and rocks on the land. When it rains the water flows through the soil and through the rocks. The rocks contains a chemical called salt.Much of the water eventually flows into the sea evaporates into the rivers and to the sea (Ocean).
When it is a hot day, water from the sea evaporates into the sky, and forms clouds. When the evaporation takes place, the salt is left behind.
Over millions, and millions of years, salt has been running through the rivers and seas.That is why the sea is salty.
