Best Answer

because of the animals

OK the person up there doesn't know what they're talking about, because what makes animals salty? THINK my science book has facts, and it says

" salts have collected on the bottom of the ocean floor for billions of years. as rivers and streams flow toward the ocean, they dissolve minerals from the land. the running water carries these dissolved minerals to the ocean."

therefore it does help make the ocean salty
