Decreasing the temperature, evaporating water, or adding more salt.

∙ 9y agoSalinity can increase due to the evaporation of ocean water. It can also increase with the formation of ice in the sea.

- the the ocean water evaporates it leaves the salt in the ocean behind and the more evaportion the more salt you will have left.

- Salinity can also be higher near the poles. As the surface water freezes into ice, the salt is left behind in the remaining water

What are three ways that density of ocean can increase?
here are 3 ways... 1) temperature going down 2) the salinity of the water 3) ice blocks...

How salty is a coral reef?
Ocean water has a salinity of 34.6-34.8ppt. Simply put, for every 1000 parts water, it has 34.6-34.8 parts dissolved materials. "Salt" is a complex word. it's not just table salt - it's chlorine, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium ions and many other elements. Ocean salinity can be defined in many ways. You may choose to measure chlorinity or conductivity to describe salinity. Salinity is also affected by temperature and atmospheric pressure. Ocean water salinity varies only slightly from reef to deep ocean.
What are the three ways that oceans are different from each other?
Ocean water is separated into different types: what oceanographers call "water masses", based on the meteorologists' term "air masses." Water masses are defined by their temperature and salinity balance. These water masses acquire their temperature/salinity balance at the surface and then sink down into the deeper levels of the ocean while maintaining that balance. Since this relationship is slow to degrade, it can be used to track large sections of water through the ocean from a common source.
How can you ascertain or prove that a sample of sea water is a sea water only or what is a chemical property that uniquely identifies sea water in nature?
Water has great abundance on the Earth, and of that abundance about 97% is sea water. Sea water contains about 3.5% by weight of salt (sodium chloride). The salinity does vary, and the combination of salinity and temperature has a major influence on ocean currents and behavior. Salinity is a crucial property of the seas and is widely measured. Among the variouse ways to characterize the average salinity are 35 ppt (parts per thousand), 35 psu (practical salinity units). The typical range of salinity is about 33 to 37 ppt. About 70% of the Earth is covered with water. The salt in that water would build a 180 mile high, 1 mile thick wall around the equator according to the Windows to the Universe website.
How does the ocean's salinity remain the same always?
The ocean's salinity remains the same because of all of the salt spray. It is always spitting out salt from the ocean. Also the sea life uses the salt in various ways. Another reason is that rocks take salt from the ocean as they form over time.
How can you increase the viscosity of water What will you add to it?
There are a few ways to increase the viscosity of water. One thing to add to water to increase viscosity is sugar.
What are the ways by which water on land can get back to the sea?
ground water seeping in the ocean or sea that can be done

What are four ways in which fresh water is naturally added to seawater decreasing its salinity?
Precipitation, runoff from land, icebergs melting, and sea ice melting.
Is the only way water leaves the ocean through evaporation?
It isn't necessarily the only way, but it is one of the few ways that water leaves the ocean.
How can gases enter the ocean water?
Their are 4 ways that gases enter the ocean. Gases can enter the ocean from streams, volcanoes, organisms, and the atmosphere.
