Why are sea salt particles considered aerosols?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because they can be tiny solid particles suspended in air
Aerosols are very small solid or liquid particles that remain suspended in air for some time. Breaking waves, bubbles and sea spray can carry tiny droplets containing dissolved salts upward; after evaporation, salt particles may remain airborne. Therefore, option A correctly identifies sea salt as an aerosol. These particles can also act as condensation nuclei for cloud formation. They are not nitrogen gas, do not form the ozone layer, and are not restricted to dissolved salts sitting only at the sea surface.
