Quite a few reasons: * Higher salt content in the rocks and soils that are collected by rivers on their journey to the sea * More rivers entering the sea
Dead Sea.
The dead sea is getting more salty. Like all seas, rivers which carry bits of sedimentary rock, enter the sea and "dump" whatever they carried on its journey to the sea.

Yes, the Dead Sea is very salty.
The Dead Sea is very salty because it has no outlet for water to flow out. Water evaporates from the sea, leaving behind salt and minerals, which makes the water more concentrated and salty.
All seas and oceans are salty. Those near the Equator tend to be slightly more salty.
its called the "dead sea" for a reason -__- too much salt will kill anything

Yes
The Dead Sea is so salty because it has no outlet for water to flow out, causing minerals to accumulate and make the water salty.
The Mediterranean Sea is less salty than the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the saltiest water on earth because of the high level of evaporation.
