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).
Answer: It's really easy to understand why the ocean is salty. The oceans have been around a very long time, so some of the salts were added to the water at a time when gases and lava were spewing from increased volcanic activity.
