Answer:

Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice

Answer:

it varies according to the location, especially at the surface. There is a balance between water being removed by evaporation and freshwater added by rivers and rain. This balance helps to control the amount of salinity at various locations of the ocean.

Explanation:

Salinity of seawater is affected by evaporation, precipitation, ice formation, and ice melting. Evaporation increases the salinity of seawater because when seawater evaporates, the salts are left behind, thus increasing their concentration.
