What process do salts become part of the ocean sediments?

Salts become part of ocean sediments through a process called weathering, where rocks on land are broken down by natural forces such as wind, water, and chemical reactions. These dissolved salts are transported by rivers and streams into the ocean. Once in the marine environment, some salts precipitate or settle out of the water column, contributing to sediment formation. Additionally, biological processes, such as the accumulation of marine organisms' remains, also incorporate salts into ocean sediments.
