Every day, water flows from a number of rivers into the Atlantic Ocean. Even though this occurs daily, it does not cause the amount of water in the Atlantic Ocean to increase over time. Which statement best explains why?
a) Ocean water is stored in the ice caps
b) Ocean water is destroyed and lost daily
c) Ocean water also evaporates each day.
d) Ocean water is removed by precipitation
