Salt in the ocean comes from the land. The elements that make up salts, such as chlorine and sodium, started out in rocks. Water and acids eroded the rocks, and rivers carried the elements into the sea. The oceans usually contain 35 parts of salts for every 1000 parts of sea water. This is lower in some places where there is a lot of fresh water coming into the ocean. It is higher where the Sun is very strong and evaporates more of the water. When all the water is gone, the salts are left behind as solid, white crystals.
The right amount of salt is a very important part of our diet. In ancient times, salt was worth its weight in gold. People used it to flavor and preserve their food. Without salt, the food would spoil. For this reason, salt became a symbol of purity. Some sacrifices in the Old Testament included salt (Leviticus 2:13; Ezekiel 43:24). Jesus called faithful people "the salt of the earth," and the Apostle Paul said that our speech should be "seasoned with salt" (Colossians 4:6).
The salt in salt water comes from broken down rocks and soil that make their way to the sea. Sodium and chlorine are the primary elements that make up rocks and sodium chloride is the salt found in the ocean water. Salt in the ocean comes from the land.

Does salt water boil faster than plain?
Salt (or anything dissolved into water) will increase the boiling point of water. It will take longer to come to a boil. Salt reduces the vapor pressure of the water and so requires a higher energy level to boil.
