All water, including rain water, contains a degree of dissolved chemicals known as "salts." It is assumed that this is concentrated more in the sea because of the gradual breaking up of the cooled igneous rocks of the Earth's crust by weathering and erosion, the wearing down of mountains, and from streams and rivers that bring dissolved salts and minerals as they flow to the sea.
