Why Is The Ocean Salty But Not Lakes?
š” The Answer
- Rain dissolves minerals from rocks and rivers carry these salts to the ocean.
- Ocean salts accumulate over billions of years because water evaporates but salts stay.
- Most lakes are replenished by fresh water and drain into rivers, removing salts.
- Some lakes like the Great Salt Lake are salty because they have no ocean outlet.
