What does evaporation do to salinity? (I'm giving 20 points for this one) Question 2 options:

water molecules (H20) absorb energy

where there are higher levels of evaporation, the water has greater salinity

warmer water molecules move farther apart

it does not impact salinity

Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.

Explanation:

it is the most commonly accepted one
