My introduction to your channel was especially timely as we have a house a few blocks from the beach/ocean, and our 7 nieces and nephews are staying with us this week. They were completely immersed in your content which I showed to them on the television when we returned from the sea for lunch. When we went back out after lunch, they were proud to profess their newfound knowledge to other kids on the shore. Between your program and making pinhole viewers for the eclipse, they're all eager to become scientists. They range in age from 4 and a half to 8 years old. Thanks for what you do. Keep up the great work. =]
Thanks so much for the kind words Johnny McAuliffe. It's exciting for me to hear that I helped to get some kids excited about the ocean. I have many fond memories myself of exploring the beach at that age and it is definitely where my own passion comes from. Tell them to stay curious!
You know I've been thinking there needs to be an educational RUclips channel all about the ocean. Glad to see it exists, and great quality too! Keep it up!
Is most of the salt in the ocean due to surface weathering? There is evidence of a significant amount of water in the mantle and I seem to remember a theory that most of the salt was in fact from the mantle. Anyways, is there a quantitative model that shows the proportions of the various sources (surface weathering, underwater volcanoes, etc.) of salt?
All of my research has talked about the weathering of the continents being the dominant source of salt in the ocean; most don't even mention the influence that hydro-thermal vents and underwater volcanoes can play. With that being said studying these phenomena is a really new field in science and even with today's technology they are still extremely difficult to study. I haven't come across any quantitative numbers or models on their impact and I suspect it's because we don't really understand it yet. I would love to see a model if you ever come across one though!
Love the set dressing! Really enjoyed the video 😊 especially the use of animation. We've toyed with the idea of adding animation to ours but it's not really in our skill set ha.
Thanks! The animations still need some work but they should get better with time. If you start using animations and need some tips on creating them let us know.
Thanks Kevin. Its stays relatively the same. But over a much longer period of time like thousands/millions of years it may change. Not 100% sure right off the top of my head. We will have to look into it and get back to you, maybe with a more in depth video :)
Thanks for checking us out! We have talked about doing on on sponges just haven't planned it out yet. But its a topic that we will cover in the future, once we get more/better underwater equipment. In the mean time I suggest checking out BlueWorldTV's video on sponges. ruclips.net/video/m8a0oNsDEx8/видео.html
That's a great question big bepis, and would make a good video! Short answer is that many physical aspects, such as light, temperature and pressure, all change with depth. Different animals have adapted and evolved to certain specific requirements. More extreme habitats also generally mean less competition.
Yes! Ocean Currents. I think it's kinda crazy how the whole ocean is swirling around constantly in one giant mess or in one synchronized ballet depending on how you look at it. I go for the giant mess point of view though.
The theory on the seas salt coming from rivers etc has been challenged lately with the findings that the mid ocean ridges cycle a huge amount of water thru them due to the volcanic heat.
I should have talked more about mid ocean ridges as its really interesting. From what I understand it is still believed that much of the salt comes from rivers, but a lot also comes from mid ocean ridges and certain trace elements that aren't common on land. I also think it's really cool that it was only until recently that we knew of the effect of mid ocean ridges and hydrothermal vents on salinity at all. It shows how there is still so much we don't know about the ocean and the planet.
Sea salt and table salt are actually a little different. Sea salt is made from dehydrating ocean water, and it usually does contain some of the other salts and trace elements. Table salt on the other hand is typically harvested underground from the salt deposits themselves. This type of salt generally has less of the other minerals and is more processed.
Like I mention near the end of the video it does vary in areas where there is more water being added or more water being removed. In terms of actual parts of the ocean, the Mediterranean has a high salinity because it has high evaporation and less water being exchanged with the rest of the ocean. The Atlantic ocean overall also has a higher salinity than the Pacific. People usual think of the Dead Sea, when they think of this question, but the Dead Sea is actually a salt lake. So it has a high amount of salt and is closed off, so it doesn't mix with the ocean.
Indeed there is. The Atlantic is saltier than the Pacific ocean. There are some nice maps of surface salinity at www1.lsbu.ac.uk/php-cgiwrap/water/pfp.php3?page=www1.lsbu.ac.uk/water/water_on_earth.html
Ooo thanks for asking! I am interested in anything related to the ocean! In particular some topics I can think of would be ocean currents and their relation to the climate, pollution, and anything to do with animals and plants.
I dunno why people keep praising this video. IMO a 1 man production team could make a better video about this other than have an amatuer blandly read the script coupled with a powerpoint presentation.

Thanks Name Explain, that is exactly the niche we are trying to fill.
Thank you
Name Explain me too
Next video on barnacle penises
Haha probably not the next video but it is a planed one
Happy that Name Explain brought me here! :D Subscribed
Thanks for the support José!
The ocean is salty because the beaches didn't wave back
That shore would make me salty
Here via "Name Explain" channel. Watched all your videos and subbed. I'm glad I did. I'm looking forward to your next presentation.
This channel is about to blow up!
Glad you think so! Any topics your would like to learn about?
You're videos are just so well made. The quality is outstanding. I enjoyed this one and it's a question I've always wondered. Looking forward to more.
I think its something that most people have wondered at some point.
nice vid i subbed ur channel will be at 700k in about a year :)
@Skins 4 Free Thanks for the sub! That would be amazing maybe one day
Liar, the Ocean is salty because of the altercation that the Sea Hag had with Popeye .
Well no, it's salty because of crying sharks.

Nice video! Love the background. Keep up the good work on showing how awesome the oceans are!
Thanks Sea&me!
This is a nice channel! Subbed!
Thanks Ben's Lab Ill have to check out your channel as well!
Think the video sounds better at 1.25 speed
Name Explain brought me here and thanks for the great info
Thanks for the feed back we will try to speed up the pace a bit a little bit in the future.
Love the set dressing! Really enjoyed the video 😊 especially the use of animation. We've toyed with the idea of adding animation to ours but it's not really in our skill set ha.
Thanks! The animations still need some work but they should get better with time. If you start using animations and need some tips on creating them let us know.
I've been wondering if the ocean has been getting saltier or not. I love all the ocean puns by the way!
Thanks Kevin. Its stays relatively the same. But over a much longer period of time like thousands/millions of years it may change. Not 100% sure right off the top of my head. We will have to look into it and get back to you, maybe with a more in depth video :)
I came here from name explain, i like your vids. Do you have a video on sea sponges planned?
Thanks for checking us out! We have talked about doing on on sponges just haven't planned it out yet. But its a topic that we will cover in the future, once we get more/better underwater equipment. In the mean time I suggest checking out BlueWorldTV's video on sponges. ruclips.net/video/m8a0oNsDEx8/видео.html
What does the crowd say? SHARKS SHARKS SHARKS SHARKS SHARKS SHARKS SHARKS
Sharks will be a future topic at some point ;)
name explain sent me
@w0zi was really unexpected to get a shout out, we appreciate you taking the time to take a look at our channel!
Do a video on crocodiles they are amazing plz
Be tricky for us to get footage of saltwater crocodiles, but we can add it to our list in case we get the chance to document them.
Why are some animals only found at certain depths in the ocean?
That's a great question big bepis, and would make a good video!
Short answer is that many physical aspects, such as light, temperature and pressure, all change with depth. Different animals have adapted and evolved to certain specific requirements. More extreme habitats also generally mean less competition.
Your content, and voice is awesome keep it going.
Thanks Daniel, stay tuned for more videos!
Came here from name explain.
Thanks for checking our channel out!
nice
the puns tho
keep it up
Thanks Magnus!
Awesome video! You've definitely got a new fan in me.
Thanks Richard! Looking forward to sharing more of our videos with you, any topics you are interested in?
Yes! Ocean Currents. I think it's kinda crazy how the whole ocean is swirling around constantly in one giant mess or in one synchronized ballet depending on how you look at it. I go for the giant mess point of view though.
Thanks Richard that's a great suggestion! Its actually a topic we talked about doing a video on in the future.
I just had to watch this video for extra credit for science, this is boring
Great video as usual! Very informative. Keep it up 🙂
Thanks It's BeeRay!
Informative! But you might want to consider hiring a narrator.
You are wrong the salt in the lake comes in the ocean
Thanks mam very much I am from India ☺️☺️
The theory on the seas salt coming from rivers etc has been challenged lately with the findings that the mid ocean ridges cycle a huge amount of water thru them due to the volcanic heat.

Good job! I look forward to seeing more of your content. I like your graphics for the salt cycle
Thanks Shawn!
cause he's bad at video games
Do mermaids exists..?!
How do people separate NaCl for table salt from the other salts in the water?
Sea salt and table salt are actually a little different. Sea salt is made from dehydrating ocean water, and it usually does contain some of the other salts and trace elements. Table salt on the other hand is typically harvested underground from the salt deposits themselves. This type of salt generally has less of the other minerals and is more processed.
SEA you later! XD
Any one here from name explain? Great video by the way
Thanks Ryan King! Glad you liked it.
Nice topic, great presentation, but work on your speech and delivery skills, keep it up! would love to learn more about the abyss.
Thanks Jorge Vidales, Will work on the delivery skills for next time. A video covering what the abyss is on our list so stay tuned.
Excuse moi
Nice video! I'd recommend uploading more frequently in order to really grow your channel :)
Thanks! working on it, we have been busy working on the next videos. Unfortunately research/production takes a long time since we both work full time.
that's a shame, best of luck with it though!
We will get faster tho ;)
practice makes perfect :) I made a video on consistency a few days ago (not trying to self promote but I feel like it may actually help you!)
Are different parts of the ocean more salty than others?
Like I mention near the end of the video it does vary in areas where there is more water being added or more water being removed. In terms of actual parts of the ocean, the Mediterranean has a high salinity because it has high evaporation and less water being exchanged with the rest of the ocean. The Atlantic ocean overall also has a higher salinity than the Pacific.

So glad I found your channel!
Thanks for checking us out! Are there any topics on the ocean that interest you? We keep track of suggestions for future video ideas.

But why is feminism so salty?!
