why does the ocean never dry?

Answer 1

because all the H2O in our atmosphere remains in our atmosphere whether is is liquid water, solid ice or steam. it cycles around and around. so there is no way that all of it would somehow end up in the steam state all at once.

Answer 2

Because although water evaporates, it can never escape our atmosphere. It's merely displaced elsewhere in the world via clouds, and as we all know, all rivers eventually run to the sea/oceans. Sorry, we're stuck with oceans of oceans gradually getting deeper as the ice-packs melt with our beloved global warming.
(I suppose we could alwats bottle it up and send it into space with each shuttle.)

Answer 3

There is just as much water on earth today as there was a thousand years ago (minus what those sneaky astronauts took with them). The earth's atmosphere keeps the water (as a gas, liquid or solid).

Answer 4

Because there is so much of it. its like if you have a bowl of water, it would take like ten years for it to evaporate. so the ocean, would take like a trillion years, which it does.

Answer 5

Because there is so much water in it, and it never stops raining somewhere around the globe.

Answer 6

Why is water wet? Ans: Because it isnt dry.

Answer 7

Because anything that evaporates from it eventually rains or snows back down.

Answer 8

This is very difficult linguistic question. I've done some serious research, but no answer.

Answer 9

Because there's nowhere else for the water to go.

Answer 10

Because it evaporates into clouds then falls back as rain.
