What happened to the salt ocean water during the water cycle?
when the water evaporates, the salt from the ocean water is left behind. you can try to do this by taking some fresh water and mix it up with salt
Does salt water or fresh water evaporate faster?
Fresh water typically evaporates faster than salt water because salt water has a lower vapor pressure due to the dissolved salts. This means that more energy is required to evaporate salt water compared to fresh water.
Do halite crystals form when fresh water evaporates?
No, halite crystals do not form when fresh water evaporates. Halite crystals, also known as rock salt, form when saline water (water with a high concentration of dissolved salts) evaporates, leaving behind the salt crystals.
What happens to ions after salt water evaporates?
When salt water evaporates, the water molecules dissipate into the air, leaving behind the salt ions. These ions will eventually form salt crystals as the remaining water evaporates completely.
Why does not rain salty when the clouds are made from the ocean?
Rain is formed when water droplets in the clouds combine and become heavy enough to fall to the ground. The salt particles in the ocean water are left behind when the water evaporates to form clouds, so the rain that falls is typically fresh water. Salt water is not generally carried up into the atmosphere where clouds form.
