What oceans have salt in them?

AnswerAll oceans have salt in them. The average salinity of all oceans is 35 parts per thousand. Salinity does vary according to depth and location. Areas of the ocean located near onshore river runoff typically have a lower salinity. Areas near the tropics with high evaporation rates tend to have higher salinity.


How do the salinity remains constant in the Oceans?

The salinity of the oceans remains relatively constant through the balance of inputs and outputs. Inputs include rivers carrying dissolved salts and minerals into the ocean, while outputs include evaporation and ice formation that leave behind salt. This equilibrium helps to maintain a stable salinity level in the oceans.
