Will the ocean get so salty that it won't be able to support life?

Asked by rowenaz (2436points) October 27th, 2010

If salt is deposited into the ocean by rivers and streams, etc., and the water is always getting evaporated, leaving the salt behind, will the oceans get more and more salty? Will there be a point that the oceans can’t sustain life due to the salt levels? Is the salt decreased some how? Thanks for your help.
