From where do sea-salt particles in the atmosphere come?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: From sea-water droplets and spray
Breaking waves and bursting bubbles produce sea spray containing tiny salt-water droplets. Wind carries these droplets into the atmosphere; when the water evaporates, dissolved salts remain as suspended sea-salt aerosols. Thus, option A is correct. Rock weathering can produce mineral dust, but it is not the principal source of sea-salt particles. The other choices are not normal atmospheric sources of this aerosol.
