The amount of water in the ocean temporary decrease.
When it rains, this helps wash minerals into the ocean from the land, which will add more minerals into an area of ocean water. Also, the formation of sea ice can also increase the amount of minerals.
it has the same amount as the ocean
The amount of salt.
Salinity
the reason salt water freezes is because of the amount of salt in the water
The total amount of dissolved salts in ocean water is referred to as "Salinity". :)
salinity
We can see through the water in some parts of the ocean, but where we can't, it is because of the great amount of sediment stirred up and suspended in the water.
the density of the water, temperature (warm temps) and salinity (amount of salt in the water) could make ocean water sink (-:

Salinity is the amount of salt found in 1,000 grams of water.
