It is because the oceans have big surface areas. Although the rivers drain water into the oceans, the water will evaporate at a fast rate, and thus the oceans will never overflow. However, global warming has caused the ice caps at the North and South poles to melt and resulting in an increase in sea levels.
They do. As the water expands because of its rising temperature and decreasing
air pressure, the shape of the ocean grows, and it overflows land.
Ask the residents of Tuvalu and Kiribati, for example, who are in negotiations with
Australia and New Zealand to take in their residents, as the Pacific Ocean rises and
their island countries shrink.
first off they do on occasion. continental flooding has been seen in prehistory. but the real reason why the coast lines remain mostly stable is the the input/output of the oceans just about equals. think about it. most water entering the ocean is from rain and most rain comes from the oceans. the ocean gains water from volcanism and it looses it from subduction. the only 2 things that affect the water level are water trapped on land (ice sheets) and loss/gain to space. you can learn about the affects of global warming on any science based website so I'll skip that and move on to space. 2 things affect this balance 1st impacts of water containing objects. earth receives tons of this every day. 2ndsolar winds blowing away atmosphere (including water vapor). thees aren't quite balanced so we have a tiny net loss of water every year to space.
dude, it's called a tsunami. look it up.
The level of the ocean is controlled by the amount of water that is frozen at the poles At present there seems to be a fair bit of this ice melting ant the level of the ocean is rising causing flooding and damage to buildings along the shores of the oceans in some places.

because the sun evaporates the water up into the clouds ands starts up the water cycle.
From Phoebe age ten
Ocens do not overflow to space because of the earths gravity pulling it to remain intact in its own place on earth.
I have heard it's because of the north and south pole it freezes the water therefore make it more spaces or something like that
buddy sea does overflow. why do you think there is flood?
but ya, it ALWAYS doesnt overflow, because the water evaporates
The ocean will never get any wetter no matter how many days it rains.
The sun is constantly drawing moisture up from the ocean through evaporation to form clouds. The oceans are constantly being replenished by the rains that fall as a result of condensation. This continuous cycle maintains an even balance.
The minerals get into the ocean by when it rains the minerals on land flows into the ocean.
Most of them died.
Heavy rains are helpful and also lead to loss of property and life. Heavy rains destroys crops and Sometimes make rivers overflow leading to flooding. Heavy rains also help when it is too hot as it cools down the temperatures.
on the moon
Due to the heavy rains and melting snow, the river was forecasted to overflow and inundate the town.
it would go into the ground becuase of the heat of the country
Rain does not make the ocean deeper
