What happens to ocean water that does not evaporate?

The water that doesn't evaporate into vapor stays in the ocean as liquid water. The oceans have a lot of liquid water. Over time, ocean water is always evaporating and turning into rain and comes back to the ocean; but the salts and minerals carried into the sea from rivers never evaporate. They stay dissolved in the ocean waters and make it saltier and saltier.


Does the water cycle affect the ocean?

the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)


Where does deep ocean water originate?

The two main sources of deep water are at the poles, where the cold temperatures and the higher salinity make water denser and sink. Water is saltier here because when the water freezes, salt is left behind in the water, making salinity rise.


When sea water evaporates the salt is left behind you might think this would make the remaining water Saltier but in fact overall the ocean is not getting Saltier why do you think that is?
