After years and years of river inflow and evaporation, the saltcontent of the lake water built up to the present levels. The same process made the seas salty. Rivers carry dissolved salts to theocean. Water evaporates from theoceans to fall again as rain and to feed the rivers, but the saltsremain in the ocean.

oceans are so salty as salt comes in the ocean from rocks on land.
the rain that falls on the land contains some dissolved carbondioxide from the surrounding air. this causes the rain water to be slightly acidic due to carbonic acid .
two of the most prevalent ions in sea water are chloride and sodium. together they make up over 90percent of all dissolved ions in the ocean. sodium and chloride reacts to form sodium chloride which is salty.
