TIL: Why Is the Ocean Salty? | Today I Learned

Pp to

Because it died in a video game a million times and the freshwater lakes kept saying “skill issue”?

Meow meow 😻

love it

awesome

That's a terrible explanation. It's decomposition of sea life that causes salt. Prove me wrong.

it's like the human body's refiltering system, through the kidney and the liver. whoever says earth is not a living entity is i delusion 🤩

think of how much it would have to rain 3-4 bya to be able to form an ocean on top of a hot lava ball

God

'cause there's salt in it.

Makes me wonder if these thermal vents are what killed the dinosaurs.

My parents when I was a little kid told me that a ship carrier was carrying salty and the salt felt in and that's why 😂😂

broo imagine the riches that must be there, and the history it contains

Amazing nature's truths. The earth science yet tobe known of it's magnemettie. Lovely.

Only Allah knows why and how he made the sea water salty. And if he wants us to know, we will definitely know.

I thought it was from the sweat of school of fish that’s running around 😂

So, next question: Why are egomaniacs so salty?

two questions remain: HOW does sodium-chloride form in NATURE.!???
does seawater contain sodium-chloride; or does it separately contain sodium ions attached to h2o and chlorine ions attached to h2o.?

Black smokers? Just call em Newports! Ayo

honestly.. that answer sounds like a far fetched fairy tale story.
They have no idea what the real answer is
...

Noo its bcus of chaki chaki namak nikal

Not true

Its all because of Chakki..
Chakki chakki namak nikal

how it got salty is different to why it is salty. what is the biological reason?
Question not answered.
Make a banner for 'mission accomplished' anyway?

I thought it was from all the marine life peeing and pooping in there

Soo.... because minerals? 🤔

Was there a time when the ocean wasn't salty?

I just visited the great lakes and there like an Ocean and there not salty either?

That’s awesome

I thought snooki was right when she said it’s because of whale sperm

But no lakes are salty ?

Are planet is made of salt. The dirt here is all the space dust on top.

ocean salty because a lot of people peeing in the water.

Bob bo

Y you so salty

hello

I love these Today I Learned videos!! THANKS ♥️.

this is the fourth video I watched on this subject, and none of them explain why there is so much salt - i.e. why so much sodium and chlorine? PS: I have a Ph. D in Physics...

Stop talking about fishes' sweat or tears, it's just all about minerals!
minerals' sweat!

Salt in ocean came from the rocks on land. Because the rain that falls contains some carbon dioxide from the surrounding air. This cause the rainwater to be slightly acidic due to the carbonic acid ( carbon dioxide and water)

Thought it was because there was once people who had lots of salt on a pirate ship and the ship sunk with the salt

Wow! Somebody answered my undying curiosity about saltwater atlast

I still dont know why

Nice to know. Before I thought that sea salt just came from land. Although the chemistry is different, I assumed that over a billion years, they would certainly accumulate there because I also thought that salt is just really stuck at the sea while water evaporates from it.

Because the land doesn't wave back

whale cum

Ancient aliens salted the water long ago and the reason is obvious.. CONTROL

is not acid rain?
