Is most of the dissolved salts in the ocean come from human activities?
No. Most of the dissolved salts in the ocean come from the rivers emptying into the ocean. As the rivers flow from their sources to their mouths, they erode their channels and pick up salt and sediments from weathered rock, which are deposited into the ocean at their mouths.
Were do the dissolved salts in ocean water come from?
salt in the ocean comes from dissolved minerals in rocks carried by streams and rivers, and especially from hydrothermal vents at the ocean floor. When water evaporates from the ocean, the minerals (salts) stay behind, so this salt doesn't go away, but only accumulates over time. Inland lakes generally have rivers leading in AND rivers leading out, so the water is constantly moving through, which keep them fresh.
