Answer:

someone can die at sea from thrist because there is no drinkable water.

Explanation:

You cannot drink the water surrounding you because it is salt water. (not the regular non-salt water we drink) the salt in the ocean water will actually dehydrate you more.

Hope this helps!!

Human kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking seawater, you have to urinate more water than you drank. Eventually, you die of dehydration even as you become thirstier.
