The more evaporation there is at a given patch of ocean, the more concentrated the salts get in the seawater and the higher the salinity.  

Global warming is making some parts of the oceans saltier, a new study has claimed.

A research led by Australian scientists showed a clear link between salinity changes at the surface and changes in the deeper waters over the last six decades caused by the warming seen over the same period.

“The saltiness or salinity of the oceans is controlled by evaporation and rainfall at earth’s surface,” said senior researcher Paul Durack of CSIRO, the Australian government’s research agency.

“The supercharging of weather patterns by global warming is making some parts of earth’s oceans much saltier while others parts are getting fresher,” Durack wrote in the Journal of Climate.

He said, the more evaporation there is at a given patch of ocean, the more concentrated the salts get in the seawater and the higher the salinity, however in places where lots of rain is falling, the water gets more diluted, becoming fresher.

Answer:

bro the rocks break to minerals to form salts. so the fossils ( like bird poop{ew...}) which are near the water form salts thus making it yucky and saltier...
