After big bang surface and the core of the earth were highly temperatured passes of time there created many large holes on the surface of the earth.

At the meantime, there was heavy rainfall about 200 cores of simultaneously the water flowed from the surface of the earth and finally dropped into that holes. During the flowing time, various kinds of salt mixed into the water and thus the water became salty. And if the vapour 1-liter water then you can get about 3.5 g salt. And total water of the world only 1% water is drinkable.

Salinity of the sea water depends on the surrounding land mass. Due to the water run-flow from the land some minerals dissolved and added to the oceans from billion of years. And also by, waste from animals living in oceans and there are some other reasons also. After big bang surface and the core of the earth were highly temperature passes of time there created many large holes on the surface of the earth.

Seawater is water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of approximately 3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand. This means that for every 1 litre (1000 mL) of seawater there are 35 grams of salts (mostly, but not entirely, sodium chloride) dissolved in it.

Salinity is the measure of all the salts dissolved in water. Salinity is usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt or). The average ocean salinity is 35ppt and the average river water salinity is 0.5ppt or less. This means that in every kilogram (1000 grams) of seawater, 35 grams are salt.

Dilip said:   6 years ago
Salinity is usually expressed in parts per thousand so 35grams of salt (35/1000 )*100 that is 3.5 percent.
