In sea/oceans waters and in salt mines.
Water (H2O) and salt (NaCl).
Salt Water oceans and bays
in oceans... and salt lakes
Most of the Earth's water contains salt because over millions of years, rain and rivers have washed mineral salts from rocks into the oceans. As water evaporates from the oceans, the salt remains behind, leading to an accumulation of salt in the ocean water. This is why most of Earth's water, especially in the oceans, contains salt.
in oceans... and salt lakes
The main elements that comprise oceans are hydrogen and oxygen, which form water molecules. Additionally, oceans contain various dissolved salts and minerals, such as sodium, chloride, magnesium, and calcium. These elements give seawater its characteristic composition and salinity.

Lower levels of salt
The most common salt found in the ocean actually came from land. The compound sodium chloride is the most common salt in the sea.
Salt is not evaporated with water.
The most important part of salt is disssolved from the earth and transported in seas and oceans by rivers.
