because it is less dense than the sea water
Salt gets evaporated in the water and dissolves
Sodium chloride is extracted from mines or sea waters.
Mineral deposits hundreds of meters thick resulted as salt would form at the bottom of a pan of evaporated sea water.
salt is formed in the sea by water from rivers and streams washing salt from the ground into the ocean.
Bottom of the sea.

Salt used in cooking is derived from seawater (sea salt) or from layers of salt in mineral deposits (rock salt or mineral salt).
