    Okay, I thought this would be an easy question to answer, if you follow this link you will get an answer that will short circuit your brain

    http://www.saltinstitute.org/15.html

    Then I found this:

    Salt consists of the elements sodium chlorid

    Salt comes from two main sources. Seawater, salt from the sea, is salty because rain water dissolves minerals containing sodium and chlorine in rocks and soil.

    The other main source of salt occurs in hard massive layers beneath the ground. This is called rock salt which is formed by the evaporation of large parts of oceans millions of years ago. Underground salt deposits are found on every continent. In the U.S.A. these deposits occur in 32 states.

    • Your answer makes it sound as if salt deposits are no longer forming. This is not the case. Two very notable places where they are forming today are the Great Salt Lake (Utah) and the Dead Sea (Israel and Jordan).
