Salinity of a body of water will increase with evaporation, because the salts do not evaporate.
If a river supplies water to that body of water, than salinity might reach high values without the body of water drying completely. An good example would be the Dead Sea, witch has high salinity as the Jordan River constantly supplies it water and a little amount of salt. The water then evaporates in the desert heat while the salt accumulates in the sea.
Otherwise, without a river, a lake or sea will slowly shrink as it evaporate with its salinity increasing until it dries out totally leaving a salt lake behind. An example of that is the salt lake in the Death Valley.

The salinity of seawater is higher in subtropical regions than at the equator?
The salinity of seawater is higher in subtropical regions primarily due to higher rates of evaporation, which concentrates salts in the water. In contrast, equatorial regions experience significant rainfall and river runoff, which dilute the salinity. Additionally, the warm temperatures in subtropical areas enhance evaporation, further increasing salinity levels. Thus, the balance of evaporation and precipitation contributes to these regional differences in seawater salinity.
What are the salinity differences of cold and warm water - fresh and salt water?
Fresh water tends to have no salt content. Fresh water is not ionized. Salt water is ionized with sodium chloride (salt). The average salinity of the oceans is roughly 35 ppt (parts per thousand).
Why is the salinity of ocean water is moderate near equator?
The salinity of ocean water is moderate near the equator primarily due to high levels of precipitation and river runoff in this region. The consistent rainfall dilutes seawater, preventing salinity from rising excessively. Additionally, the warm temperatures near the equator promote evaporation, but the high precipitation often offsets this effect, leading to relatively stable and moderate salinity levels.
What happens to air or water when it becomes warm?
When air becomes warm, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. This can lead to the formation of clouds and eventually precipitation. In water, warmth can increase its evaporation rate and decrease its density, causing it to rise as well.
Why rate of evaporation of liquid increases with increasing wind speed?
the rate of evaporation increases when a breeze or flow of air is present. If you refer to water transpiration, you can see that a breeze blowing over the surface of a plant's leaves increases the rate of evaporation of the water exiting the stoma.

What is Evaporation for kids?
Evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids.
Evaporation happens when liquid water turns into?
Cold air is more dense than warm air
What is lighter warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
Cold water with high salinity
How would you compare a liter of cold water with high salinity and a liter of warm water with low salinity?
Cold water with high salinity takes up more volume than warm water than low salinity
What are two factors that can cause ocean water to sink?
the density of the water, temperature (warm temps) and salinity (amount of salt in the water) could make ocean water sink (-:
What is lightest water warm water with low salinity or cold water with high salinity?
cold water w/ high salinity
How does salinity change in warm climates where water evaporates quickly?
Salinity is increased during time.
Why is the salinity of ocean water is moderate near equator?
The salinity of ocean water is moderate near the equator primarily due to high levels of precipitation and river runoff in this region. The consistent rainfall dilutes seawater, preventing salinity from rising excessively. Additionally, the warm temperatures near the equator promote evaporation, but the high precipitation often offsets this effect, leading to relatively stable and moderate salinity levels.
How a warm day affect rate of evaporation?
The rate of evaporation increases
What causes variations in ocean salinity?
Well, Salinity is the measure of dissolved salts and in the ocean they're already there , ( not artificial) but near a warm tropical ocean or really anywhere where there is no more water coming in, then its fine. Hope I helped
Does the type of climate matter for water evaporation?
Evaporation is faster in a warm climate.
