Question

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：

When the weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an Ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water is still cool. The hot air over the earth goes up. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air.

Then you may ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?” Scientists will say that the salt comes from the rocks. When the rocks get very hot or very cold，they crack (爆裂）.Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. And then you may doubt, "But the ocean does not get more salty every year.，，Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.
