Discuss The Origins of Salts within the Oceans. Show How the concentrations vary from place to place and indicate possible changes that might have occurred over time Salt is defined as "Any substance that yields ions other than hydrogen or hydroxyl. Salts are produced from acids by replacing the hydrogen with a metal" Thurman 97:529. Salt is a common feature of water and especially in the oceans. It is found in varied concentrations around the many oceans of the world. But what is the purpose of this salt water? And why is it so important. This paper will highlight...
plenty of this occurring around oceans there is always going to be a steady supply of salt in the oceans. There are variations in the salinity of waters which are minute however there are also many reasons for this, such as temperature and location. Natural cycles such as the monsoon and Gulf stream largely effect the salinity of ocean waters. The on major noticeable sea is the Red sea which has the highest salinity levels, standing at 240%, this seems to be a major exception to the rest of the worlds seas and oceans.
