Why Ocean Water Is Salty

Why Ocean Water Is Salty

The average blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm
when it ejaculates, but only 10% of that actually makes it into
his mate. So 360 gallons are spilled into the ocean every time one
unloads, and you wonder why the ocean is so salty!!

Oh! By the way...Don't swallow the water!!!

hornyyy on January 11, 2007 at 10:28

Y'all are freakin morons, cross-species pregnancies are pretty much
impossible, and unless you're right next to a whale as it unloads,
collected the water in a bottle, and shot it up into a girl, you
wouldn't have enough live sperm cells to fertilize.. but I guess
you're all suffering from brain damage from drinking too much
saltwater

you don't need to know on January 21, 2007 at 09:07

vaishali on June 23, 2007 at 05:36

If you wanna know why its salty, when water from the ocean evaporates,
it only evaperates the water and leaves the minerals and salts behind,
then it gets traged to land by wind, and rained out. then it follows
the rivers and drags more minerals and salts out to the see, then it
repeats the cycle.

Noposh Chigger on July 01, 2007 at 02:20

EW!! Even if it isn't true, it is still really gross! XP

Amoeba_man on July 05, 2007 at 05:08

lulu787 on July 26, 2007 at 03:17

OK WHOEVER believes this is a total dumbass thats not how it becomes
salty i am not going to explain the whole process but if this was a
joke than i am sorry for calling anyone a dumbass but the reaction of
peolpe made me think they believed it but ya its untrue

wtf on July 28, 2007 at 12:10

Hey, u 4got the picture. go to google images and type 'dont swallow
the water' I would put the link, but it wont let me. and that is
entirely true, it is responsible for 49% of saltiness. But it
evaporatres and goes into the rain. makes ya think twice b4 dancing in
the rain....

weird person on March 14, 2008 at 08:20

that is so not true. dont beleive it you guys

susan on March 30, 2008 at 06:59

People, if you really believe this is why the sea is salty you're
either really dumb, retarded, thrown out of school, way to young to
know better or quite possibly all 4. This is obviously fake facts
made up cause even though it isn't the whale that is responsible the
facts about the whales ejaculation is true. But the sea is salty
for a whole different reason. Go to school and you might learn why.

Nesune on April 28, 2008 at 09:20

Ahmm.. i didnt want to know that!! T.T

O.o on June 05, 2008 at 05:09

Deon on August 11, 2008 at 07:53

hiiiiiiiiii

pooja on September 04, 2011 at 10:35

I was beginning to like this site but since I see this untrue piece of
trashy answer to why the ocean is salty I guess I'll go read some
other site. It's salty because it just is. Our land water comes from
evaporated water and it cannot exist in humidity. Stupid.

Butterbeans on September 14, 2011 at 08:41
