This includes sea shells, fish scales, and other animal materials. Most of the salts are weathering products from rocks on land.

No. The proportion and the amount of dissolved salts STAYED THE SAME for hundreds of millions of years.

It varies depending on what part of the ocean it is measured. Approximately 96.5% of seawater is water. The rest is dissolved salts. See related link for more information.
Sodium. (seawater has approximately 35 g/L of dissolved salts: predominantly sodium (Na+ ) and chloride (Cl− ) ions)
Dissolved salts are transported by the rivers.
It is dissolved salts, gases, and nutrients that are presented in seawater.

The average salinity of seawater is about 35 grams of dissolved salts per kilogram of seawater, or 3.5% by weight.
Approximately 30 -40 grams of salts per kg
This measure is called concentration, expressed in g/L.
This measure is called concentration, expressed in g/L.
No. The proportion and the amount of dissolved salts STAYED THE SAME for hundreds of millions of years.

Sea water is water with a few thousand different dissolved salts and a variety of dissolved or suspended organic compounds.
The salts are dissolved by rivers in the mountains and transported to Oceans and Seas.
Mostly carbonates and bicarbonates while seawater is dominated by sodium and chlorine.
