[The water balance essential for transporting freshwater and maintaining ocean salinity is investigated here. The atmosphere transports freshwater towards the poles, and the ocean closes the cycle by transporting it back towards the equator. Most of the world’s freshwater is found in the ocean. Salt comes from rocks on land and, through weathering and volcanic activity, becomes dissolved in water and transported by rivers to the ocean. The water balance and salinity are closely connected through evaporation and precipitation. Freshwater and salt are the two most important factors for life. The concerned scientist asks the ocean how modern humans can better connect to the ocean. The best way is to realize that what is going on in human bodies is also going on in the ocean. Humans and the ocean belong to each other through many important processes and from the beginnings of life itself.]
