what about where sea salt comes from?

Answer:
Salt comes from the ocean and from salt mines
Believe it or not, there are underground salt mines. Ages ago, the water was a lot higher and covered a large part of USA. As the water levels lowered, and the water ran off our continent, layers of salt remained behind and was covered over. Saw it on the Discovery Channel. There are huge underground salt caverns.
rocks. the ocean.
salt mines
Salt comes from the earth (it's a rock) and sea salt comes from the sea.
ummmmmm the sea!!!
Salt is a very common mineral and is found in small amounts in just about everywhere. As water flows from the land into rivers it dissolves small amounts of salt. When the water reaches the ocean or a lake with no outlet (such as Great Salt Lake in Utah or the Dead Sea in the Middle East) that salt has no place else to go. The water in the ocean or lake steadily evaporates continuing the water cycle but the salt is left behind. Over time these bodies of water get saltier and saltier.
salt comes from the earth and the sea
it's older than humankind
The first registers of salt use were produced around 4000 B.C. in Egypt, and later in Greece and Rome. Salt was very valuable and used to preserve and flavor foods.

The U.S. salt industry began in 1614 when the first non-native solar saltworks was established by the Jamestown colonists on Smith's Island, VA. The U.S. is the world's second largest salt producer, producing 46 million tons a year, nearly half of that in the form of brines produced by captive brine wells supplying U.S. chloralkali chemical companies in such states as Michigan, Texas and West Virginia. The remaining is "dry salt" produced using three basic technologies: solar evaporation of seawater or saline lakewater, solution mining and vacuum pan evaporation and conventional deep-shaft (rock salt) mining.
ocean, salt mines in the mediterranean, cleveland .....is all over.....
