Why Sea water is saline ?

Solution

Sea water
Sea water is saline in nature.
The river water flowing into the seas brings lots of salts with it and these salts are dissolved in seawater to make it saline.
Even though we have an abundant supply of water on our earth, we cannot use this water directly for drinking and agricultural purposes.
But, still, seas and rivers play an important role in the water cycle.
