Question

3. Ocean water is saline yet we call it as water source. Why?

Answer 1

• Most of the water on earth is found in oceans and seas.
• Ocean water is not fit for drinking or agricultural purposes as it contains a large amount of salt.
• The ocean acts as a habitat for a large number of aquatic plants and animals.
• But, the place where we get water is called the source of water.
• Hence, ocean water is saline yet we call it a water source.
