How freezing and evaporation affect salinity?
If there is more evaporation than precipitation then the salinity increases (since salt is not evaporated into the atmosphere, only freshwater is). If there is more precipitation (rain) than evaporation, then the salinity decreases. The actual freezing of seawater will increase the salinity temporarily. This temporary increase happens in the first stages of the freezing.
