Rain dissolves minerals from rock and carries them to rivers, which transport these minerals to the ocean; as water evaporates, salt remains behind, and this process has been occurring for 4 billion years, resulting in the ocean containing approximately 50 million billion tons of salt, which would form a layer 500 feet thick if spread on land, with hydrothermal vents adding additional minerals and causing the ocean to become saltier each year.

The Ocean Has Enough Salt to Bury All Land 500 Feet DeepAñadido:
Rain dissolves minerals from rock and carries them to rivers. Rivers carry those minerals to the ocean. Water evaporates. Salt stays behind. This has been happening for 4 billion years. The ocean now holds about 50 million billion tons of salt. If you spread it on land, it would form a layer 500 ft thick.
Hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor add even more minerals. The ocean gets saltier every year. Full breakdown on our channel.
