Answer:

Volcanic gases. (Ans A)

Explanation:

Ocean water is salty because of the presence of dissolved salt. When water contact with a rock it starts weathering processes and this process starts to dissolve the soluble elements such as sodium out of the rock.

In volcanic gases, lots of chlorine ions are present in the atmosphere, these ions easily dissolve with water and produce the large flux of chloride that splashes into the oceans. So, the most common source of chloride ions in ocean waters comes from the volcanic explosions.

The equator has light closer to 90 degrees, at the poles the angle is lower than 90 degrees. Use this information and refer to t
ANTONII [103]

The temperature at tropic region is warmer than the polar temperatures due to angle of the sun.

The tropics which is located near the equator are hotter than the arctic region i.e. north and south poles because the sunlight falls directly on the tropic regions at 90 degrees while on the other hand, the sunlight falls on the poles not directly and form angle lower than 90 degrees.

The amount of solar energy in a given area is greater at the equator and tropic regions than in an equal area at the poles so that's why the temperature at tropic region is warmer than the polar temperatures.
