The common mineral salt present in seawater is sodium chloride, or table salt. It is the most abundant mineral in seawater and gives the ocean its characteristic salty taste.
Table salt is classified as a mineral because it meets the criteria for being a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition (sodium chloride) and distinct physical properties.
