All natural water contains various amounts of dissolved solids (generally known as salts), even fresh water. Some inland lakes have no outflows. As water is lost by evaporation, salts are left behind. Therefore, the concentration of salts may increase as time goes by. They may also form salt flats if water is lost faster than the inflows. The Dead Sea is one such salt-lake.

Why is the water in the sea salty?

The water in the sea is salty due to the presence of dissolved minerals and salts that come from the erosion of rocks on land. Rainfall carries these minerals into rivers, which eventually flow into the ocean, increasing its salt content over time. Additionally, underwater volcanic activity and hydrothermal vents also contribute to the salinity of seawater.
