According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as much as 71 percent—nearly three-quarters—of all the earth's surface is covered by the oceans, which hold 97 percent of the earth's water. These mammoth bodies of water are not inanimate; currents move the water from place to place. These currents are affected to a large degree by the salinity (concentration of salt and other dissolved minerals) of the water.

here is you answer!!
salinity helps in influencing ocean currents because A less dense substance will always lie above a more dense substance. When you have water of two different densities meeting, the lower density water will move on top of the higher density water. The different densities actually cause the water to move, forming a density current. In the oceans, the deep,bottom currents are colder and saltier than the surface currents.
