Q2: is there not a (very long) time when there won't be anymore salts to "take" from the rocks and the ground?
How is that supply renewed over time?
Is there some sort of a salts cycle that somehow takes away salts from the oceans and adds them back into the ground/rocks?
I was thinking aquatic organisms take salts into their body, we eat them, we die, our body goes back into the ground... But, to mean, that does sound really convincing. Also living things decomposition maybe?
