*As a liquid, water desolvesrocks and sediments and reacts with emissions from volcanoes and hydrothermal vents. this creates a complex solution of mineral salts in our ocean basins. conversely, in other states such as vapor and ice, water and salt are incompatible: water vapor and ice are essentially salt free.
