The minerals dissolved in the seawater, all originate from the dissolving of rocks, which contain those minerals. Limestone for example contains magnesium and calcium. Many rocks that now are mountains, contain minerals once encapsulated when they lay below the ocean as sediments.
So these minerals are part of a continuum of deposition and solution.
As well as the minerals, there are also organic materials formed upon the decay of fish, tiny animals and aquatic plants.
