Oceans taste salty primarily due to the presence of dissolved salts, with sodium chloride (table salt) being the most abundant. These salts originate from the weathering of rocks on land, which release minerals that are carried to the sea by rivers. Additionally, underwater volcanic activity and hydrothermal vents contribute to the ocean's salinity. Over time, evaporation of seawater leaves these salts behind, further increasing the ocean's salt concentration.
