Salt. Webquests, info, resources.
Please Pass the Salt - Webquest Summary. "1. What is the main chemical factor that differentiates
oceans from lakes?
The saltiness of the ocean is more understandable when compared
with the salt content of a fresh-water lake. For example, when 1
cubic foot of sea water evaporates it yields about 2.2 pounds of salt,
but 1 cubic foot of fresh water from Lake Michigan contains only one
one-hundredth (0.01) of a pound of salt, or about one sixth of an
ounce. Thus, seawater is 220 times saltier than the fresh lake water.
2. Why is the ocean salty?
The ocean is salty because of the gradual concentration of dissolved
chemicals eroded from the Earth's crust and washed into the sea.
Solid and gaseous ejections from volcanoes, suspended particles
swept to the ocean from the land by onshore winds, and materials
dissolved from sediments deposited on the ocean floor have also
contributed. Salinity is increased by evaporation or by freezing of sea
ice and it is decreased as a result of rainfall, runoff, or the melting of
ice."
