<span>The amount of dissolved salt in the liquid sample is measured and reported as salinity. The salinity is usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt). The salinity of ocean averages 35 ppt while that of the river averages 0.5 ppt or less. In other terms, the word salinity is the saltiness. </span>
The basic building block of matter is the atom.
It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.
When two carbon atoms are covalently bonded together, they try to achieve an octet structure so their electrons are 4 in number while each of them donates their remaining 2 so they end up sharing 4.
