What happens to salinity in a warm area with a lot of evaporation?

Salinity of a body of water will increase with evaporation, because the salts do not evaporate.
If a river supplies water to that body of water, than salinity might reach high values without the body of water drying completely. An good example would be the Dead Sea, witch has high salinity as the Jordan River constantly supplies it water and a little amount of salt. The water then evaporates in the desert heat while the salt accumulates in the sea.
Otherwise, without a river, a lake or sea will slowly shrink as it evaporate with its salinity increasing until it dries out totally leaving a salt lake behind. An example of that is the salt lake in the Death Valley.

What happens when a hurricane moves over warm water?
It will normally strengthen. The evaporation from very warm water provides the energy source for hurricanes and other tropical cyclones.
What are the salinity differences of cold and warm water - fresh and salt water?
Fresh water tends to have no salt content. Fresh water is not ionized. Salt water is ionized with sodium chloride (salt). The average salinity of the oceans is roughly 35 ppt (parts per thousand).
Why Ocean Salinity increasing?
When evaporation occurs at a rate faster than precipitation, the net result is that salt is left behind and the salinity in the oceans will increase. Of course, new salt is brought into the ocean by rivers and deposition of salts on the sea floor takes salt out of the ocean. As a whole, the salinity of the ocean (total salt everywhere) has not changed for millions of years since these input and removal processes are in balance. The increased "saltiness" created by the imbalance between precipitation and evaporation in certain areas of the ocean (some very large) is balance by areas that are fresher so the whole ocean is not getting saltier.
What is called when warm air rises cools and condenses?
Evaporation
Does hurricanes get their energy from warm air over land?
No, hurricanes get their energy from evaporation from warm ocean water.
What is Evaporation for kids?
Evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids.
Evaporation happens when liquid water turns into?
Cold air is more dense than warm air
What is lighter warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
Cold water with high salinity
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
What are two factors that can cause ocean water to sink?
the density of the water, temperature (warm temps) and salinity (amount of salt in the water) could make ocean water sink (-:
What is lightest water warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
cold water w/ high salinity
How does salinity change in warm climates where water evaporates quickly?
Salinity is increased during time.
What happens when a hurricane moves over warm water?
It will normally strengthen. The evaporation from very warm water provides the energy source for hurricanes and other tropical cyclones.
How a warm day affect rate of evaporation?
The rate of evaporation increases
What causes variations in ocean salinity?
Well, Salinity is the measure of dissolved salts and in the ocean they're already there , ( not artificial) but near a warm tropical ocean or really anywhere where there is no more water coming in, then its fine. Hope I helped
Does the type of climate matter for water evaporation?
Evaporation is faster in a warm climate.
What happens when an inflamed area becomes warm to the touch?
you mean inflanced
