Why Are The Oceans Salty?
By Cameron English
If you've ever visited the beach, you know that the oceans are very salty. But do you know why? According to geologists, there are many natural processes that over the millions of years transport salt from different places around the world and deposit it in the oceans. Rivers are responsible for the largest portion of salt in the oceans today. They take salt out of eroded rocks and transport it to the oceans.
