77. Dissolved Metals

Rivers carry dissolved elements such as copper, gold, lead, mercury, nickel, silicon, sodium, tin, and uranium into the oceans at very rapid rates when compared with the small quantities of these elements already in the oceans. In other words, far fewer than a million years worth of metals are dissolved in the oceans.^a There is no known means by which large amounts of these elements can come out of solution. Therefore, the oceans must be much younger than a million years.
