| Jul 5, 2016 at 13:33 | comment | added | Gordon Stanger | OK, I was simplifying - of course salts don't evaporate, but moist air blowing eastwards from the Mediterranean forms rain in which the raindrops nucleate around (predominantly) sea salt particles. So the net effect is very dilute seawater with minimal salt fractionation, and with a few other nucleii (terrestrial dust, dimethy sulphide, etc). But bromine a product of nuclear reactions in the Earth's crust? Please elaborate! | |
| Jul 4, 2016 at 4:38 | comment | added | Michael Wallace | @GordonStanger salts don't evaporate with sea water. Bromine is byproduct of nuclear reactions in the crust. The rest of your answer is well explained. | |
