Salt only lowers the freezing point a couple of degrees. I'm thinking as water
on the surface gets cold, it sinks, letting warmer water up. So until the depths
get cold, too, no freezing. Also the motion of the ocean must interfere with
freezing. Finally, there's the point about specific heat. Doesn't it you just
have to get rid of a lot of energy to freeze something? A lot more than lowering
it one degree?

a couple of reasons
1) Constant ebb and flow plus its vastness.
2) Salt salt and more salt
3) The temperature of the water is different all over the world.
4) It does freeze in the North. The North Pole is one big ocean there is no land or none left anyway.

Do you realize how much water is in the oceans?
Do you know how cold it would have to be and for how long to freeze that much water?
