Question 3 • PMHS Environmental Science Q2

Where does the salt in oceans come from?

Answer
A
rocks and minerals on land
B
rainfall and snowfall
C
dead plants and animals
D
energy from the Sun

Rainwater and streams slowly weather rocks and minerals on land, dissolving salts and carrying them into the ocean. Water evaporates from the ocean, but most dissolved salt remains behind, so it accumulates over time. The correct choice is rocks and minerals on land.
