The coastal nations own the minerals.

Of all the minerals
No. There's the crust, mantle, etc. which also contain minerals.
The oceans are primarily made of water. This water contains dissolved salts and other minerals, which give the oceans their characteristic salinity.
Minerals dissolved in aquifers
they can provide water, minerals, and food
Minerals make up the rocks of earth, so minerals are found wherever there are rocks at the surface. Water too is a mineral so this includes the oceans.
Oceans are big water bodies. Salinity is due to the presence of minerals in water.
No, oceans do not produce sugar. They contain salt due to the presence of dissolved minerals like sodium and chloride. Sugar is produced by plants through the process of photosynthesis, not by oceans.
Food contains minerals. Pure water (perfectly distilled water) contains no minerals, but naturally occurring water (lakes, oceans, streams, underground water) contains dissolved minerals.
The majority of Earth's water is salty due to the continuous process of erosion, which carries dissolved minerals into the oceans. This, in combination with volcanic activity releasing minerals and salts into water bodies, contributes to the high salinity of our oceans. Additionally, evaporation of water from the oceans leaves the salts behind, further concentrating the salt content over time.
