Answer:
Salt in the ocean comes from two sources: runoff from the land and openings in the seafloor. Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks. ... Ocean water seeps into cracks in the seafloor and is heated by magma from the Earth's core.

Answer:
It comes from the land, mostly. As rain forms and falls through the air, it accumulates carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, causing it to become slightly acidic.
It then flows over the land, eroding rocks and picking up small amounts of salt and other dissolved minerals
Additional salt is contributed by underwater hydrothermal and volcanic activity.
