On average one kilogram of ocean water contains about of salt

The substance known as table salt, ______ ________, is the salt present in the greatest amount in ocean water.

Near the oceans surface, these things add freshwater to the oceans surface, lowering the salinity.

(a)   increases salinity, since the salt is left behind as the water evaporates.
