Well, it doesn't, of course. In fact, the salt content of the oceans remains fairly constant because: It is increased by rivers dissolving salts out of rocks and bringing them down to the sea It is decreased by evaporation at ocean margins, and by the fixation of salts in more stable compounds in the ocean depths and undersea volcanoes.
