Question

How come the sea doesn't evaporate?

Answer 1

they do all the time....but due to the water cycle and melting ice...u will not see it dry up...but some inland seas such as the Caspian and Aral seas have evaporated so much tat their water body has greatly reduced.

Answer 2

Yes, the sea does evaporate just like all water, you just dont notice it because there is a vast amount and theres not enough heat to evaporate it so you notice. Though i heard that once fish fell out of the sky i dont believe it but its possible.

Answer 3

It does. Where do you think the bulk of the rain comes from? All the tropical storms originate from warm air and water coming from the ocean. In the end though, the sea level stays constant since all the rain just runs back into the sea through rivers and such.

Answer 4

Seawater contains a variety of salts, and when seawater evaporates, these solids are left behind. The most abundant salt in seawater is sodium chloride (NaC1) which will be referred to in this article simply as salt (technically it is called halite).

Answer 5

the sea does evaporate however the sea has so much water the the majority of the suns heat is evenly distributed throughout all the water particle so that they are in equilibrium and there are so many particles that the suns heat is not enough to raise the temperature of each molecule to 100 degrees c

Answer 6

In science we call this type of system a steady state.  the output (by evaporation) is balanced by the input from rainfall and runoff.  

So, even though the water in the ocean is always evaporating, the amount of water in the ocean only changes when rainfall and snowmelt are either less than the evaporation (glaciers are growing on land) or more than evaporation (the glaciers are melting).

It's that big water cycle at work.
