Why is the ocean salty?

From precipitation to the land to the rivers to the sea

The rain physically erodes the rock and the acids chemically break down the rocks and carries salts and minerals along in a dissolved state as ions. The ions in the runoff are carried to the streams and rivers and then to the ocean.
