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.

What are the two things gargoyles are used for?
Decoration - and to direct rainwater away from the building. They're usually hollow - or have a tube exiting the mouth. This stops rainwater running down the side of the building - preventing erosion.
Is the red sea saltier than the Indian Ocean?
Yes. The Red Sea is the saltiest body of water that directly connects to the wider oceans, primarily because it receives minimal water from rivers. Conversely, there are a large number of rivers which pour into the Indian Ocean as well as monsoon rains which help ease the salt levels. However, we are not talking about orders of magnitude more or less salt; the differential is around 20%.

Rainwater that does not soak into the ground is called surface runoff. It flows over the surface of the ground and can collect in streams, rivers, and eventually make its way to lakes or oceans.
Why oceans are not getting saltier?
well,it can't get more saltier and it can't get less.the denser the water is,the saltier it'll be.the less denser,the less salty it'll be.its the same amount of salt,just different density levels.
How much saltier is the dead sea than the oceans?
The Dead Sea is 33.7 % Salinity - The oceans average 3.5% salinity. So the Dead Sea is Roughly 10 times a salty as the Oceans. ----------------- I found another source (wikipedia.org)that states that the Dead Sea is 8.6 times as salty as the sea.
