Why is the sea salty?
From the first chapter of the first book of Moses, called Genesis, we learn
that, as between water and land, the ocean had the first place in terrestrial
existence, for it is there stated that on the third day in the calendar of the
creation the waters under the heavens were gathered together and the dry land
appeared. Both from a chemical and a geological standpoint it appears that the
waters of the ocean were salt from the beginning. Dr. T. S. Hunt, one of the
ablest writers on the physical history of the globe, in his chemical and
geological essays, referring to that period when the earth was in a molten
state and surrounded by an envelope of gases and of vapor of water, states:
"There would be the conversion of all the carbonates, chlorides, and sulphates
into silicates, and the separation of carbon, chlorine, and sulphur in the
form of acid gases which, with nitrogen, vapor of water, and a probable excess
of oxygen, could form the dense primeval atmosphere...
