Does the earth's water cycle end when fresh water drains into the oceans?

No. When water is evaporated into the atmosphere, the salt isn't evaporated with it. The water in the water cycle is always fresh water, and when it drains into the oceans it dimply diludes the ocean from having such a high salt content. The water cycle is always continuous and if it ended, we would all die.
