What cause surface ocean water to have a higher salt content?

The main reasons for higher salt content in surface ocean water are evaporation and formation of sea ice. As water evaporates, salt is left behind, causing an increase in salinity. In regions where sea ice forms, the salt is expelled, further increasing the salinity of the remaining water.

Where salinity is higher?

Salinity is higher in areas with high evaporation rates, such as warm, arid regions and shallow seas like the Red Sea or the Persian Gulf. Additionally, salinity tends to increase at river mouths where seawater mixes with freshwater, especially in estuaries with limited water exchange. In polar regions, salinity can also be elevated beneath sea ice, where the surrounding water becomes saltier as ice forms.
