Salinity

Water is an excellent solvent.

All water that exists on Earth is carrying materials with it.

Where do the materials within the ocean come from?

• Land

• Inside the Earth

• The atmosphere

Materials in the Ocean

Land:

• Streams & rivers flow into the ocean.

• 4 billion tons of salt into the

ocean each year.

• Evaporation leaves behind

salts.

Materials in the Ocean

Inside the Earth:

• Volcanoes, vents, & other

processes provide minerals.

• Come from deep within the

Earth’s surface.

Materials in the Ocean

The atmosphere:

• Minerals can be carried on

the wind & deposited into the

ocean.

• Natural (volcanic ash) &

human-made substances.

Salinity

Water is generally considered fresh or salty.

• Somewhere in between is called brackish.

Brackish water is usually found in areas called estuaries.

Estuaries

Estuaries = areas where fresh (stream & rivers) & salt

water (seas & oceans) meet.

• Sometimes called the “nurseries of the sea” because

many juvenile organisms grow here.

Lab Activity

Investigating Surface Tension:

• Be sure to carefully following instructions within the lab

worksheet.

• If you have a question about the lab please ask before

continuing.

Complete in your notebook:

Fill in the data tables & draw a graph of the data.

Answer follow up questions 2-3.

Read the Cohesion section & answer questions 8-9.
