The water in the oceans is coming from rivers. The river water is taking with it all kinds of material (some of it salt/minerals). As the ocean water is heated by the sun, the water becomes steam and moves in to the atmosphere (forming clouds, for example), but the salt does not vaporate as water does. Therefore the remaining water is salty (more salt for less water).
You can very easily try this by heating some water. First add a little bit of salt in a pot of water, stir it so it dissolves. Taste it before and after heating the water (caution: the water should cool before tasting). You'll get the idea.
Three factors are evaporation and freezing of sea water.
Rainfall does not directly affect ocean salinity, as rainwater is freshwater and dilutes the salt content in the ocean. Other factors such as evaporation, ice formation, and river input can influence ocean salinity levels.

There are several factors that affect salinity. Some of the main factors include evaporation and precipitation which will affect the salinity of oceans and seas.
Manganese nodules do not directly affect the salinity of ocean water. Salinity is primarily influenced by factors such as evaporation, precipitation, and inputs from rivers and hydrothermal vents. While manganese nodules can impact the distribution of minerals in the ocean floor, they do not play a significant role in altering the overall salinity of the water.
Yes, temperature, salinity, and density are all factors in the formation of ocean currents. These factors affect the movement of water masses, which can create differences in water density and drive the circulation of ocean currents. Changes in temperature and salinity can impact the density of water, influencing the speed and direction of currents.
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
