Why is the sea salty? Salt in the sea, or 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.

The salts contained in rocks, and these salts are carried in the water to the sea. As raindrops form, they absorb carbon dioxide from the air.Thats why sea water is salty .
