Salt comes from minerals that are carried down into the seas and oceans. This is the reason why ocean water is salty. ( when salt water in a basin is placed , water evaporates into the air, the salt remains in the basin
Sources of Water1. Salt water from seas and oceans
- Scientist say that the ocean produces 805 of the oxygen we breathe. This is possible because of planktons, the tiny –releasing organisms that live in the oceans and seas.
- Seawater is the habitat of aquatic plants and animals
