How much salt can cover the world

How thick do you want the layer? when you find out, are you going to do it?\nNO??????\nSo, why are you asking??????

Since 70% to 75% of the Earth's surface is water, I would think it would make less of an impact than if they were just left on land.  There are so many billions of ocean creatures that would flourish off the food supply that would be provided by such a terrible catastrophe.

The sun will grow until it engulfs the Earth before it burns out.  And long before that, the temperature will get way too hot and evaporate all the water, and the planet will no longer be able to support life.

Salt is widely distributed in nature. It is found in solution in ocean water in concentrations of about 30 g/litre (about 4.08 oz/gal) of water, meaning that salt makes up about 3 per cent of ocean water by weight. The compound is also distributed throughout many rivers and inland lakes and seas, the concentration varying from 0.002 per cent in the Mississippi River to 30 per cent in the Dead Sea. Salt can occur as a surface crust or layer in swamps and dry lake bottoms, especially in extremely arid regions. The mineral halite, more commonly known as rock salt or massive salt, occurs in beds deposited by the dehydration of ancient bodies of salt water. The compound is constantly being formed by the action of rivers and streams on rocks containing chlorides and compounds of sodium. Salt melts at 804° C (1479° F) and begins to vaporize at temperatures just slightly above this; it has a relative density of 2.17.

Salinity will decrease a bit, but it won't be very significant.  \n\nLower salinity fish might move out of their environments and colonize other parts of the oceans.

you are not alone- this happens to me if I have too much salt

one day a man ask a genie for everlasting salt from a big saltshaker b/c his family was poor and he planned to sell it. then when he was going home in his boat and got raided by PIRATES! then pirates stole the salt shaker and the man threw a grenade at the boat and BLEW it up! then the salt shaker was shaking  out salt in the middle of the ocean! And thats y its salty. Hope u enjoyed!!! : )

The salinity of specific regions of the oceans depends on the ratio of influx of sweet water and evaporation (or in cold regions, formation of ice, which also increases the salinity of the remaining water) and on the vertical and horizontal currents. The northern Atlantic is the most saline oceanic region, if I recall correctly - probably because of much evaporation in the subtropic zone and then the gulf stream carrying the saline water north.\n\nThe dissolved salts are mainly:\n\ncations: Na+, with K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ as important additional components\n\nanions: HCO3-, Cl- as main components, SO4(2-) a distant third.\n\nTo get the salts, simply combine to neutral compounds.

Short answer: nothing would happen.\n\nLonger answer:  Think of it like this.  The oceans make up 2/3rds of the surface area of the planet, approximately.  They are much, much deeper than tall buildings, trees, or even mountains.  Also think about water displacement- the volume of water that something displaces is equal to its own volume.\n\nRising sea levels are caused, mostly, by melting polar ice caps.  So how big are these ice caps and how much is melting?  The ice caps cover the Arctic (the size of a major continent) and most of Antarctica, which together is probably the size of two major continents.  Worst case scenario- most of it melts.  Let's be optimistic- 10%.  Can you really imagine the boats that we have adding up to 10% the volume of an entire continent, let alone two?  No, it's ridiculous.  A mountain or two, sure, plausible, but something the size of Texas?  No.  Absolutely not.

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 %.-

With an orbit of where earth is, 149,600,000 km, that's a surface area of 7.12383E+15 km², i think...\n\nYou can fit approx. 11,700 earths in a single ring around the sun, so you can imagine the amount of materials needed for a dyson sphere is pretty massive! (although Jupiter is more than a 1000 times more massive than the earth!)\n\nI think you might even need to destroy whole solar systems to get the materials required, but the planets, moons & asteriod belt would be a good place to start, assuming you need specific materials like metals especially.\n\nDon't even think about the cost!

THere are layes of the ocean with differing salinity (salt) concentrations.  I don't think that a layer as you described could exist.  Buoyancy is a result of several factors.

the world needs more Glass.... all that sand, heat from a few nuclear explosions... viola, more glass for the rest of the world

A salt is an ionic compound that is composed of a metal and non-metal. \nThere are many different kinds of salts. Table salt, the kind you put on food is Sodium Chloride (NaCl) and it can be found in concentrations in the Earth known as "salt domes" or derived from sea salt or halite formations.\n\nSea salt, another kind of salt commonly used in cooking, has varying compositions depending on where it is harvested but generally contains more chloride than sodium and has trace amounts of sulfites, calcium, and other metals. These metals are not in pure form, but combined chemically with non-metals.\n\nSalts can be the byproduct of a chemical reaction as is often the case when an acid and base are mixed. The base and acid neutralize to form, among other things, a salt in an aqueous solution. Many salts are poisonous to humans. \n\nFor more information go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt
