Ocean currents are often cold. Cold water doesn't evaporate so readily.
Small, relatively shallow inland seas will be relatively warm; as such, they will evaporate readily.
- petesergeant 4y agoPersian Gulf gets up to 32-34C in summer. How hot exactly are your proposed inland seas?
- lproven 4y agoIt is also quite small, though... hardly open ocean, and almost isolated by the Straits of Hormuz (?) from the ocean, so probably not much affected by deep sea currents, no?
- petesergeant 3y agoYes, but I'd say this further supports my assertion, given that rain is unusual on the Arab peninsula despite it being surrounded by warmer water
- lproven 3y agoThat is a fair point. :-) The topography might be an issue, but still... touché.
