Answers to Questions

J. D., CENTERVILLE-P tell
me where the salt comes from that is
found in the ocean. - BY continuous
process of interchange between the
surface waters of the land and ocean
the latter has become the depository
of vast quantities of mineral matter
that have been dissolved out of the
rocks through the agency of springs
and streams. The principal constitu.
ents of sea water are the more soluble
salts-the chlorides and sulphates of
the alkalies and alkaline earths. On
the average 100 parts of sea water
contain 3.5 parts of solid materials
whose composition is about as fol-
lows: Sodium chloride, TITS per cent !;
magnesium chloride, 1888 per cent;
magnesium sulphate, Ala per cent;
calcium sulphate, $50 per cent; potas-
SUM sulphate, 2.46 per cent; magne-
Stun bromide. O.22 percent, and cal
cium carbonate, O.34 1t will be OBJ
served from the above that salt forms
more than three-fourths of the oceans
solids, but this differs in localities On
coasts that have very heavy rainfalls
the salinity of the water is little less
than the above average and in the
case of Enclosed seas it is little more.
