Sea salt is a gathering of water soluble minerals. It makes sense that what is taken from the ground stays in the water of the seas, right? But if the sea is below the average sea level on earth, it never mixes with the other seas.
It rains nearly one meter of water per year, on earth. But then, it also evaporates nearly a meter of water, each year.
In some places, the raining is greater than the evaporation. In other places, it is the opposite.
For example, the Mediterranean evaporates more than what it gets from rain and rivers. The current in the Strait of Gibraltar then is always flowing from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. The Baltic Sea, on the other hand, gets more rain than what evaporates. Therefore the current in the Sound between Sweden and Denmark, is always flowing out towards the North Sea and the Atlantic.
