Is the ocean salty because the land never waves back?
timofeeve [1]
NO, the ocean is salty because it is the place where many of the salt from lakes and rivers leave off in. If this doesn't happen, then there will not be any fresh water, there will only be salty rivers, very salty rivers, not so salty rivers, or so salty to the point you can't even drink it salty water (lol)

hope this helps
