The ocean bodies and the sea contain ______ water.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. salty.

  • The water in the oceans is saline (saltwater), which contains significant amounts of dissolved salts. 
  • The normal range of ocean salinity ranges between 33-37 grams per liter (33‰ - 37‰).
  • The commonest way to record salinity is to measure the amount of salt in 1,000 g of water, so it is referred to as 'parts per thousand' or ppt.
