Answer:
Salt in ocean salinity, is mainly caused by rain washing mineral ions from the land into water. Carbon dioxide in the air dissolves into rainwater, making it slightly acidic. When rain falls, it weathers rocks, releasing mineral salts that separate into ions.

Answer:
Ocean water is salty because it is cause by rain. Carbon dioxide dissolves in the rain water. Thus will make the rain water acidic (slightly). When that slightly acidic rain falls, it weathers rocks, releasing mineral salts that separate into ions.
