Question
The ocean waters are saline in nature.
Short Note
Solution
- After years and years of river inflow and evaporation, the salt content of the lake water built up to the present levels.
- The same process made the seas salty.
- Rivers carry dissolved salts to the ocean.
- Water evaporates from the oceans to fall again as rain and to feed the rivers, but the salt remains in the oceans. Therefore the ocean waters are saline in nature.
