Community Property in California. California is a community property state whereby it is presumed that each spouse has an undivided one-half interest in any property acquired during the marriage while domiciled in California (California Family Code Â§ 760).
The Great Salt Lake is salty because it is endorheic...that is, it has no outlet to release water except for evaporation. As a result, mineral salts accumulate over time, resulting in either a very salty body of water (the Aral and Dead Seas and the Great Salt Lake) or extensive salt flats (Such as Bonneville in Utah).
Why is the ocean salty? Oceans cover about 70 percent of the Earth's surface and about 97 percent of all water on and in the Earth is salineâthere's a lot of salty water on our planet. By some estimates, if the salt in the ocean could be removed and spread evenly over the Earthâs land surface it would form a layer more than 500 feet (166 meters) thick, about the height of a 40-story office building .
