Evaporation is a process that increases the salinity of seawater, not decreases it. Other processes that decrease the salinity of seawater include precipitation, melting of icebergs, and the input of freshwater from rivers.

Evaporation and the formation of sea ice.
Ice has zero salinity. When it is frozen, the salt is pushed out. Therefore, since the salinity of normal seawater is about 35 ppt, it has 35 ppt more salinity than seawater.
Desalination does not directly affect the salinity of the ocean, as the vast volume of seawater is not significantly impacted by the relatively small amount of water that is desalinated. However, the brine left over from desalination processes, if not properly managed, can increase salinity in the immediate area where it is discharged, potentially affecting local marine ecosystems.
Temperature and salinity are the two main factors that influence the density of seawater. Colder seawater is denser than warmer seawater, while seawater with higher salinity is denser than seawater with lower salinity.
Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation, which removes water and concentrates the salt content. This increased salinity makes the water denser. Other processes that can increase seawater density include cooling and the formation of sea ice.
The average salinity of seawater is about 35 grams of dissolved salts per kilogram of seawater, or 3.5% by weight.

evaporation
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
False. The average salinity of seawater is actually around 3.5%, not 35%.
