Q. Why is the sea salty?-E. r. c.
a. The salinity of the ocean is due
to the fact that waters that run into il

that has been dissolved from the earth.
Then, wien the water is brought back
to the land in the form of rain, it is
pure the salt having been left behind
In the process of evaporation. Thus is
salt constantly brought down to the
sea. but none of it is taken away, and
the sea grows steadily saltier.
