An increase in ocean salinity can increase what creating a current?
An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.

Salinity in the ocean is highest in regions where evaporation is high and precipitation is low. Density in seawater is determined by both temperature and salinity.
How would salinity change if some ocean water evaporated?
