why d amount of salt in the sea did not steadily increasing?

Question

the sea is salty because every fresh h2o stream has a small amount of dissolved salt in it. in the sea the salt becomes concentrated because the sun evaporates the h2o, leaving the salt accumulates. if this is so, why the amount of salt in the sea did not steadily increasing?

Answer 1

There are two reasons: chemical precipitation and subduction of oceanic plates. Chemical precipitation takes calcium and magnesium ions out of solution to make carbonates (such as limestone). This is accomplished by marine invertebrates to build their shells. Some evaporates can be deposited in highly saline areas, thus depositing halite and other salts in addition to carbonates. Other ions (such as manganese) precipitate out of seawater directly. Subduction of oceanic plates occurs when seawater and pelagic sediments caught up in the accretionary wedge get subducted under continental cratons. Since subduction of oceanic plates is a widespread and ongoing process, ions are constantly being removed from the ocean basins.

Answer 2

No it is not generating more salt . That would defy the creation of the earth and the creator . nothing in this world generates beyond the original . That would equate to an unfinished original earth . Please don't try to add something to a perfect creation . You will only run into an unanswerable question .


Why doesn't the ocean rise to greater heights and overflow the the land mass . It rain everyday somewhere and the ocean get the most of it ...

The answer is that God set the boundary of the seas and that's the the limit it can rise ....You want to read the best book on phyics in the world read the Bible ...

Answer 3

you have said that water evaporates and leaving salt into the sea,and i would ask you where does the water from the rain goes after it reach the ground?it is a cycle.water that evaporates are being replaced again and again.maintaining level of salinity.

Answer 4

it is increasing. Who told you it is not?
