Dissolved constituentsAfter being introduced to particulatematter occurring in oceans we nowlearn about dissolved constituents inoceans.NitratenonconservativeSodiumConservativeBariumnonconservativeMajor constituents are those having aconcentration > 1x 10 -6 by weight.Salinity for example has 35 parts perthous<strong>and</strong> weight. The majority has aconservative behaviour.Minor <strong>and</strong> trace constituents have only 1x10 -9 by weight, <strong>and</strong> nearly all of themhave a non-conservative behaviour.
