What is the main source of sea-salt particles in the atmosphere?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Sea spray and evaporation from marine areas
Sea-salt aerosol mainly enters the atmosphere when winds break ocean waves and bursting bubbles eject tiny seawater droplets. As the water evaporates, dissolved salts remain as airborne particles; evaporation from saline surfaces can add some material as well. Therefore, option A is correct. Ozone and argon do not produce sea-salt particles, and nitrogen inside volcanoes is not their principal source.
