What is Understanding Earth about?
The document discusses the composition and properties of seawater. It notes that seawater is salty, with a typical salinity of 35 grams per liter, or 35 parts per thousand. The major dissolved elements in seawater are chloride, sodium, sulfate, magnesium, and calcium. Factors like evaporation and ice formation increase salinity, while precipitation and freshwater runoff decrease salinity. The salinity of bodies of water can thus vary depending on their characteristics and environmental conditions.
