Inorganic carbon, bromide, boron, strontium, and fluoride representation of the other major dissolved surfaces of seawater. Seawater also accommodates different dissolved atmospheric gases, nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide are mainly dissolved. More than that the components of seawater are dissolved organic substances, such as carbohydrates and amino acids, and organic-rich particulates. The rain that falls on the land contains some diffused in carbon dioxide from the surrounding air. This mainly causes the rainwater to be moderately acidic due to carbonic acid. The rain physically erodes the rock, and the acids chemically slow the rocks and maintain the salts and minerals along with a dissolved state as ions. The ions in the runoff are maintained to the streams and rivers and then to the ocean area. Many of the diffused ions are utilized by organisms in the ocean substances and are removed from the water resources.

The two ions forms that are located mostly often in the seawater are chloride and sodium base. These two can over almost 91% of all dissolved ions in the saltwater. The concentration of salt in seawater is called as salinity and that is about 30 parts per thousand. The saltwater comes from the diffused salts; in three portions of seawater the weight of the salt, and they are like sodium chloride, seawater is worthless, a cubic mile of it also can contain up to more than 20 pounds of gold. The amount of salt in the sea, or ocean salinity, is mainly caused by the rain-washing mineral ions from the land of earth into water. Carbon dioxide in the air dissolves into rainwater, making it moderately acidic nature. The rain falls, it weathers rocks, releasing the mineral salts that are separate into ions. These ions are carried with runoff water substituents and eventually reach the ocean. Sodium and chloride, the main reason the constituents of the type of salt used in cooking, make up over 90% of all the ions initiated in the seawater.

Some mineral areas of ions are used by the marine animals and plants, removing them from the water. The leftover minerals have been built up in concentration of the over millions of years. Underwater volcanoes and hydrothermal variations are going on the seabed can also release salts into the ocean areas. It is isolated bodies of water can become extra salty areas, or hypersaline, through evaporation. The Dead Sea is an example of this solution. Its high salt content increases the water's density and pressure which is why people float in the Dead Sea more easily than in the ocean substances.
