Question

What is the principal source of dissolved substances in the ocean

weathering
outgassing
infiltration
vaporation

Answer 1

Pretty sure it’s weathering but not 100%

Answer 2

infiltration

Step-by-step explanation:

• As Na and Cl make up much of the dissolved common salts found in the ocean waters, the element in the earth's crust can be easily be dissolved in the rain and river and get carried away from the runoff of the river.

• Infiltration is process by which water on the ground enters the soil. The porosity of the soil particles on land water determine the infiltration capacity and thus are a major source of dissolved sediments in water bodies.

• Also, rainfall influences this rate of sediment flows in water all the organic and inorganic matter in the soil is mainly composed and collected from the rain and discharge rate of the soil. Weathering produces mass wasting and erosion of the landforms from the above and thus indirectly related to the dissolved content.
