    What causes ocean salinity?
    The primary reason for the ocean’s salinity is the constant influx of salts from rivers, underwater volcanoes, and deep-sea vents. Gases from volcanoes (and human activities) make rainwater slightly acidic. As rainwater seeps through the Earth’s crust, it dissolves minerals and salts, which rivers then carry to the oceans.

    How do rainwater and rivers affect the saltiness of the ocean?
    Rainwater and rivers play a crucial role in the saltiness of the ocean. Through a process known as rock erosion, rainwater picks up mineral salts from the land and carries them into the water bodies. This dissolved salt is then transported by rivers and eventually finds its way into the ocean.

    What causes salt in the ocean & seas?
    Aerial view of the Fraser River in Vancouver with its sediments. Three primary causes of salt in the ocean and seas are rain runoff, rivers emptying into the sea, and thermal vent deposits. Rain runoff occurs when rainwater or melting snow and ice pull silt, minerals, and rock erosion away from its source.

    How do minerals accumulate in the ocean?
    When this happens, more minerals, including salt and ions, flow into the oceans and accumulate. River and stream runoff is the sea's primary source of salt and minerals. Thermal vents at the bottom of the ocean are another source of ocean saltiness. These vents pull minerals, like salt, up from the depths of the Earth and empties into the water.
