Why is the rivers not salty?
Rivers are not pure freshwater sources of water. As they flow to the ocean, they pick up small amounts of mineral salts. These slightly-salty rivers flow into the ocean, and as this is a continuous flow and there are thousands of rivers, all the salt builds up, causing the oceans to be saturated with salt. Also, because water evaporates and salt does not, the oceans get saltier over time.
