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.

According to the scientist study, the salt content within the sea water is originally from the land. After a long time erosion and evaporation via the rain-evaporate cycle, the sea water is then becomes salty. I hope this will help u. Cheers
