If the ocean’s salt comes from rivers, why is the ocean so much more salty than the rivers flowing into it?
All water has the same salinity.
It’s not, the ocean ‘s salinity is the same as most river’s salinity.
Because the ocean has accumulated salt from runoff over millions of years, as water evaporates from the ocean, it leaves all the salt behind.
The ocean doesn’t get most of its salt from rivers. Most of it comes from precipitation.
