Answer

Evaporation

Step-by-step explanation

Evaporation of sea and ocean water and the formation of sea ice are processes that increase the salinity of the ocean. Salinity of ocean water and seas are balanced by processes such as input of fresh water from precipitation in form of rain and snow, melting of ice and water from rivers.
