Regular salt is composed of one compound, sodium chloride (NaCl) or if it is iodized salt, it also has a small amount of an iodine compound such as sodium iodide (NaI). Sea salt, which is made through the evaporation of sea water, contains many different kinds of salts.

Washed sea salt weighs the same. Due to its generally larger crystal size a teaspoon of sea salt has less sodium chloride by volume than a teaspoon of table salt.

Unwashed sea salt may weigh slightly more due to added mineral content. Generally though this isn't significant when measuring for home cooking.

How do oceans add salt?

Salt is NOT formed in the oceans, it is washed INTO the oceans from RIVERS; as the water in the ocean is evaporated by the sun, the salt is concentrated more and more. At the same time, the water from the rivers is diluting that concentration, so a balance results which is more salty than the rivers, but less salty than the Dead Sea or the Great Salt Lake.
