[Answer] What percentage of ocean water is salt?

We have looked all around the web to find the most relevant answer to your query: 


What percentage of ocean water is salt?


  • 3.5 percent:The major source of the salts in seawater is rock on the land. Because the rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, it erodes the rocks. This release of ions, such as sodium and chlorine, from rocks is then carried away in creeks, streams, and rivers. Eventually, this water ends up in the ocean. Hydrothermal vents on the seafloor also release salts into the water. The average salinity rate in ocean water is 35 parts per thousand. That means about 3.5 percent of seawater consists of dissolved salts. Source: OceanService.NOAA.gov
