Salt is dissolved from the earth and transported by rivers in seas and oceans.

∙ 15y agoSalt in the ocean comes from the combination of minerals that exist in the Earth's crust. Sodium was present in the sea floors when oceans were formed, and combined with chlorides released from volcanic eruptions. Sea water tends to concentrate salt due to evaporation, but this is balanced somewhat by salt deposition in oceanic basalts.

Are ice glaciers in salt water?
Icebergs that break off into the ocean from glaciers do not contain salt, as they are formed by freshwater on land (snow, ice). Icebergs that form in the ocean mostly do not contain salt either. This is because as the seawater freezes, it forms a crystal structure (ice) that prevents salt ions from being included.
