Salt is NOT formed in the oceans, it is washed INTO the oceans from RIVERS; as the water in the ocean is evaporated by the sun, the salt is concentrated more and more. At the same time, the water from the rivers is diluting that concentration, so a balance results which is more salty than the rivers, but less salty than the Dead Sea or the Great Salt Lake.
