The Atlantic Ocean is very salty because of the effects of the winds around it. Typically, the Atlantic is fed by wind coming off of the United States. This continental wind is often dry, so it brings very little water to the Atlantic. When water from the Atlantic evaporates, it evaporates as freshwater, leaving behind its salt. This evaporated water is then blown by winds into the Pacific Ocean. When this happens, all that is left is salty water.
