anyone can prove this matter by scientific reasons.

The ocean is salty because of the gradual concentration of dissolved chemicals eroded from the Earth's crust and washed into the sea. Solid and gaseous ejections from volcanoes, suspended particles swept to the ocean from the land by onshore winds, and materials dissolved from sediments deposited on the ocean floor have also contributed. Salinity is increased by evaporation or by freezing of sea ice and it is decreased as a result of rainfall, runoff, or the melting of ice. The average salinity of sea water is 35 o/oo, but concentrations as high as 40 o/oo are observed in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Salinities are much less than average in coastal waters, in the polar seas, and near the mouths of large rivers.

Sea water not only is much saltier than river water but it also differs in the proportion of the various salts. Sodium and chloride constitute 85 percent of the dissolved solids in sea water and account for the characteristic salty taste. Certain constituents in sea water, such as calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, and silica, are partly taken out of solution by biological organisms, chemical precipitation, or physical-chemical reactions. In open water the chemical composition of sea water is nearly constant. Because of the stable ratios of the principal constituents to total salt content, the determination of one major constituent can be used to calculate sea water salinity. For minor constituents and dissolved gases the composition is variable and therefore ratios cannot be used to calculate salt Circulation and mixing, density and ocean currents, wind action, water temperature, solubility, and biochemical reactions are some of the factors that explain why the composition of water in the open sea is almost constant from place to place.

Nicely done aduy !!! And once again nagpakurat gihapon si u know who... I was wondering if was it done to elicit a scientific explanation or he just wanted somebody to post an old Filipino Children's fable on why the sea is salty....aberrrr...

Bai Aduy, nahibalo kana ba nga ang sea water maunay primary souce of potable or drinking water sa Cebu City and nearby Cities karon? due to RO (Reverse Osmosis) Plant System.

naa na ba diay Dessalination sa Cebu bai datz? diri sa Saudi ang source jud kay tubig dagat man unya gi process nalang nila para maging potable water kay wala man jud diri atabay dili parehas sa ato nga pikas pikas naay gabulwak nga tubig

Tinuod na adto man gani kuha unta to sila sa lungsod nga natawhan ni Dagohoy, ga survey na ogd sila pero komontra ang mga kalahi ni Dagohoy maong wala madayon.

Komusta na bai, ayaw god ug bali ng duha, asa ka magtrabaho bai doul ra daw ka sa Bawardi Steel Co. O di ba sa Zameel Steel Mtfg. Co. matod sa manghod ko, kay alam mo ba ang BUtler (Saudi Building System) sa E.A. Juffali & Bros. daw sab na kong asa ang manghod ko nagtrabaho, kanang glass building kono sa Dammam - Khobar Highway, Sole distributor ng Merceds Benz, Juffali Compound sa may Pepsi Road, Dammam Tower ug uban pa sama sa Carrier, Marco, falcon, IBM, Saudi Ericsson, Saudi Liebheer, Pool Arabia, Fuor Arabia, ug uban pa basta daghan pa puro kono na sa Juffali ug kana tanan naa kono na sa KHobar-Dammam area, tinood na bai?

tinuod jud na tanan bai datz mura man og dia ka diri ui memorized man nimo ang lugar diri. among office bai dia diri sa Dammam-Khobar Highway duol ra mismo sa DHL Al-Saeed Business Towers, malabyan nako kada adlaw ang Pepsi Road. Al Juffali Bros. distributor na sila sa mga kalainlain nga sakyanan. Diri bai update sila sa mga bag-ong model kay ang mga weakness sa mga Arabs sakyanan og cellphones. Diri makakita og klaseng mga sakyanan nga wala pa diha sa atoa although naay mga luxury cars sa ADB sa Manila pero diri daghang mga lagmion.

Ang ZAMIL bai daghan og sister companies naay steel, construction, airconditioning or uban pa wla nako kabalo hehehehe.... Maayo kay wala ka mosulay og abroad bai diba dia diri imo egsoon. Nindot kaayo diri walay pollution, walay traffic dili parehas sa Manila nga bumper to bumper pero ang kalaban lang diri sandstorm, hunong jud ang work sa field og naay sandstorm. Diha sa niaging semana dihay sandstorm diri napakanindot mura og sa pelikula gusto unta nako ibutang diri pero dili man ko kamao mag upload ui erihis pa man ko hehehehe....

Salt uses for cloud seeding in natural or in artificial. So, kong ang dagat dili parat malamang walay ulan sa kalibutan. the sea evaporates and goes up high to form clouds tungod sa NaCl (sodium chloride). Mao bitaw sa mga deserto walay tagsa ra kaayo ang ulan tungod layo man sa dagat, maka experienced lang sila ug ulan kong may clouds matangay sa kusog nga hangin.

due to element compound (sodium chloride) deposits at ultimate water impounding body, the ocean.

Why the sea is salty, Philippine version:

Why The Sea Is Salty

Many years ago, the sea tasted like ordinary rainwater. It was bland and tasteless. Fortunately, the people living in the islands knew about a friendly giant who kept mounds of salt in his cave.
The people would cross the ocean on their boats to reach the gentle giant's island, and that is how they were able to bring salt back to their villages, in order to prepare tastier meals.

One time, however, the ocean was quite rough and they could not sail out to gather salt. They eventually ran out of salt and the villagers no longer enjoyed their tasteless meals. They wondered how they could get salt again, when a child suggested they ask the giant to stretch out his legs over the ocean so that they could walk to his island instead.

The kind giant agreed, and villagers with empty salt sacks walked along the giant's leg. Unfortunately, the giant's foot landed on an anthill, and the ferocious red ants started biting the enormous leg.

"Hurry!" pleaded the giant, who strained to keep his itchy legs still.

As soon as the people reached the giant's island, he immediately withdrew his foot and scratched the itchy bites. The villages just smiled at how a giant could be bothered by tiny ants.

Anyway, the people got their salt and the giant again stretched his leg over the ocean. Immediately, the ants began biting his swollen foot. Once again, the giant asked the people to hurry up, but the heavy salt sacks slowed them down.

Besides, the people didn't believe that the tiny ants could really affect the giant, so they idly chatted away, and walked rather slowly.

Before the villagers could cross the ocean, the giant cried out and thrust his ant-bitten foot into the ocean. All the packed salt fell into the plain-water sea and melted.

The giant saved the people from drowning, but no one was able to recover the spilled salt. From that day onwards, the sea became salty.
