Why is the sea water saline ?

Answer Posted / neha gupta

We can summarize this discussion. Wherever water comes into
contact with the rocks of Earth’s crust, either on land or
in the ocean or within the oceanic crust, some of the
minerals in the rock dissolve and are carried by the water
to the ocean. The salt content of seawater does not change
because new minerals are forming on the sea floor at the
same rate as salt is added. Thus, the salt content of the
sea is at steady state.
