Why is seawater salty, when water from the lake isn’t?
In: Earth Science
Well funny enough sea water contains a whole lotta salt. Fresh water Lake water does not. Lake water (as in the Great Lakes) come off of melted icebergs that used to be on land. While other fresh water lakes come from melted snow off mountains. And other come from man made creations. Then there’s the Dead Sea which is sooooo salty nothing can live in it. I guess a sea but still an isolated body of water with high concentration of salt.
The sea just has loads of dissolved salt in it from salt deposits it wears away at
