Salt is widely distributed in nature. It is found in solution in ocean water in concentrations of about 30 g/litre (about 4.08 oz/gal) of water, meaning that salt makes up about 3 per cent of ocean water by weight. The compound is also distributed throughout many rivers and inland lakes and seas, the concentration varying from 0.002 per cent in the Mississippi River to 30 per cent in the Dead Sea. Salt can occur as a surface crust or layer in swamps and dry lake bottoms, especially in extremely arid regions. The mineral halite, more commonly known as rock salt or massive salt, occurs in beds deposited by the dehydration of ancient bodies of salt water. The compound is constantly being formed by the action of rivers and streams on rocks containing chlorides and compounds of sodium. Salt melts at 804° C (1479° F) and begins to vaporize at temperatures just slightly above this; it has a relative density of 2.17.

like dissolves like. since salt is polar it would disolove in polar solvents. you can look those up on www.wikipedia.org also dissociates and dissolving is to different things.
