Why is the sea salty?

Rain dissolves the mountains

It picks up carbon dioxide, turns faintly acidic and eats into the rock

the rivers carry that salt down to the sea

The Sun lifts only the water

The salt stays behind

35 grams a litre

Some seas are almost fresh, and one stings so much you float without trying

Every sea is a balance between what it receives and what it lets go
