it's salty because Sal T. Oshian poured all of his lifetime supply of salt into the ocean

The ocean is salty because it accumulates minerals from rocks over millions of years, while freshwater systems like rivers and most lakes don't have a chance to concentrate them. Here’s a breakdown of how it works: • Acidic Rain Dissolves Minerals: Rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making it slightly acidic. As this water flows over land, it dissolves minerals—like sodium and chloride—from rocks. • Rivers Deliver Salts to the Sea: Rivers act as highways, carrying these dissolved minerals to the ocean. Since the ocean has no easy way to get rid of the water, salts build up over time. • Evaporation Concentrates Salt: The sun evaporates freshwater from the ocean's surface, but the salt stays behind. This process continuously increases the ocean's salinity. • Underwater Vents Add Minerals: Hydrothermal vents on the seafloor release mineral-rich fluids, adding more salts directly into the ocean. • Why Lakes Are Usually Fresh: Most lakes have outlets that allow water to flow out, preventing salts from concentrating. However, some lakes (like the Dead Sea) are salty because they have no outlet, so evaporation leaves the salt behind. It's fascinating how the ocean has been collecting salt for billions of years! This also means that if all the salt were removed, the sea level would drop significantly.
