Explanation:
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. ... Ocean water seeps into cracks in the seafloor and is heated by magma from the Earth's core. The heat causes a series of chemical reactions.

⇝Sea water is salty because it contains large amounts of the salt Sodium Chloride. Salts are brought to the sea through many sources like rivers and streams which collect various minerals, salts and silt on their course and drain them into the oceans. Atmospheric phenomena like evaporation also increase the salt concentration in the oceans.
