Where is salt water on earth
123236
Oceans and seas are salt water,but the most salt water on earth could be found in the dead sea in Jordan in the Middle East.

Salt water is great.  Keep that up.  Salt water is a natural disinfectant.  Try a neti pot  (I love it).  Also whiskey and honey.  Honey is a natural antibiotic and whiskey helps with the pain.

I'm surely not an expert in this, but I'll tell you what I know.\nThe salinity of ocean water varies from place to place. The oceans that surround the polar regions are less salty than the Persian Gulf areas. Also where rivers and streams empty into the ocean, that area tends to be less salty than the open ocean.\nSalinity is reported in terms of parts per thousand ( 0/00 ).\nSalt content in ocean water ranges from .5 0/00 to 40 0/00.\nThe average ocean salinity is 35 0/00. \nI had an ocean map which showed salt content of the world oceans, but cannot find it. I know this would have been a great help answering your question.  What I do remember of it is, that most major oceans had a salt content that ranged between 32 0/00 and 35 0/00.\n32 0/00 being close to islands and continents and 35 0/00 was recorded surrounding the center of the major oceans.\nI'm sure I did not answer your question completely, but I hope I helped?

The concentration of salt in seawater varies with temperature.  Because the Arctic and Antarctic oceans are colder than the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, the salt is less soluble.  By the same principle, seawater near the floor of the ocean would be less salty because it's cold down there.  Throw in a few baby volcanoes, the Atlantic rift and a few dozen fumaroles, etc...  Then, you would have to know how many liters of water are in the oceans and that quantity is constantly changing.  Now, are you talking about common NaCL?  Or do you want to include all the sulfates, carbonates, phosphates, etc... which are all in the ocean?  Thanks for the easy 2 points!

Salt doesn't melt ice, it reduces the temperature needed to melt it. In Antarctica the temperature is so low, that even all salt water around doesn't help melting it.

If this all was true, the waters off the EAST coast would be higher, since Earth spins toward the east. \nHowever; even the ocean has areas of higher/lower elevation, according to Topex Dynamic Ocean Topography.\nhttp://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/OCEAN_PLANET/MOVIES/Topex_Dynamic_Ocean_Topography.mpg\nBut there, around NZ, the ocean does not show higher elevation; it's at a normal  level.

Simple answer?\n\nC - Groundwater\n\nWater and air fill the spaces down to the zone of saturation, i.e. the water table, though its not really a flat surface in the ground. As one goes deeper, saltwater encroaches becoming brines.\n\nIn some areas where the geology is right and structural traps exist in the formations, oil and natural gas can occupy fractures and pore spaces.

The total area on the surface of the earth is 510,065,500 sq. Km Out of which Land area is 148,939,100 km²  equivalant to 29.2 % and Water area is 361,126,400 km² equivalant to 70.8 %.-

Because the body cannot process salt water.

32 degrees farenheit\n0 degrees celcuis\n\nFor pure water, that is....\nThe reason they salt roads is to introduce impurities that will interfere with the H2O (106 degree bond angle?) from fitting together in the proper configuration to form crystals

If the Tar Desert is above the level of the water in the Arabian Sea, then it is not feasible. If the level of the Tar Desert is below the Arabian Sea's level, then it is feasible. Actions such as this will be necessary in order to moderate the increasing severity of drought and global warming.\nThe Arabian Sea is of course salty. The resulting lake - if one was created, would be one of increase salty composition such as the Dead Sea. Even so, water purification would be possible if there were water there. Only a future society with the knowledge and computing power to forecast the resulting weather moderation - and finding it acceptable - would be able to achieve such an undertaking.

There is only so much water in the oceans, so if it's high tide on one side of the earth, then the water is being pulled over that way, draining some of the water on the opposite side of the earth.  Therefore, when it's high tide on one side, it's low tide elsewhere.\n\n(That is not a scientific explanation exactly.)  For a visual... get a large shallow bowl... fill it with water.  Carefully move it so all of the water moves towards one edge.  As the water increases on that side, the water decreases on the other.  That is similar to how the tides move.

Just the water evaporates leaving behind the salt.  Some places along the Mediterranean they have a process that the salt water goes though leaving behind the salt that we use.  They have several locks that the salt water drain from and finally ends up as a pile of salt to be processed.\nOh by the way clouds don't melt.  The water vapors get heavy until they're so heavy the the water drop as rain droplets.No they do not mix into a different form of water.\nNO! NO! NO! to all the rest of your question.\nChuck

When ocean levels rise the water must go somewhere.  So, the water covers up land.  Thus, if ice caps in the artic melt many of our coastal areas will eventually be covered in water... including New York, Boston, etc.

Salt water can conduct electricity because there are ions in it. Na+ and Cl- from the salt.\nSee http://www.scienceaid.co.uk/salt.html for more
