As I sat relaxing on the beach to see the beauty of the sunset in a vast ocean,
Have we thought about why the salty sea water and river water is not.
According to scientists all over the water on the surface of this earth, except rain water salty, but the levels vary.
The water we drink also contains salt but very few that does not felt by our tongue.
If the salt content of sea water is very high, if we feel aja own drinking.
Why Feels Sea Salt
Sources of salt comes from the minerals that form and settle to the ocean when the sea is formed.
And also be brought by river water flowing ocean. Over time the sea water becomes salty because the levels
salts increases.
If the sea River Entrance, Why Stay Salty Sea Water?
Of course we think large rivers like the river Musi,
Kapuas, Siak, Amzon, Nile, all bermuaradi sea.
But why keep the sea water salty?
The answer is that natural processes created by the almighty. We know the water that flows
from land to
the river will be back again kedaratan through rain water.
When the scorching heat of sea water will evaporate into the air (while the salt will still settle to the ocean) so that
forming clouds,
These clouds move kedaratan, after being cooked will fall as rain, rain water will be re-marine
through the river
and membaw various minerals. This water cycle it repeatedly with seawater will remain salty.
How Are Sea Salt
Salt levels (salinity) vary in each ocean. Average ocean salinity is about 3.5%.
Ocean salinity are highest in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, salt content 4%. It is estimated
sea salt levels in our Earth is about 5 x 10 ^ 16 tons of salt. For comparison
If the salt is spread on the surface of the land in the world is thick approximately 40 storey building.
Or about 1.02338 grams per cubic.
