Best Answer

The ocean becomes salter because the salt in the ocean can't be evaporated.

Incorrect. !!

The water vapour formed over the oceans eventually falls back to Earth as rainfall, and the cycle repeats.

In all realism, an ocean evaporating on Earth is probably impossible, just because of the water cycle. When water evaporates, it becomes gas, and being caught in the gravitational pull of the planet, just floats around in the atmosphere. Eventually it comes back down in the form of rain, starting over. An ocean can't evaporate because the atmosphere can't hold it all, and will just send it back down. Smaller bodies of water can easily evaporate, though. Their water is displaced into other places, including the oceans.

Because of the heat of the sun. It turns water into vapour which forms clouds which make rain. It is all part of the water cycle.

The vapor is made of tiny drops of water then when all the water accumulates it falls(rain).

The Sun and wind causes water vapour to rise off the surface of the oceans and form clouds. The water vapour rises because it is relatively warm.

What happens to the total amount of water on earth as water evaporates from the ocean?

When does sea water become fresh water?

Rivers


True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?

Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.


Does water move or circulate between fresh water and salt water?

Yes; rivers run into the ocean at places called Estuaries. What evaporates from the ocean, and is dropped as freshwater in raindrops.


What happened to the salt ocean water during the water cycle?

when the water evaporates, the salt from the ocean water is left behind. you can try to do this by taking some fresh water and mix it up with salt
