Water boils at 100 deg. centigrade at atmospheric pressure. Boiling point of water is a temperature at which change of phase takes place due to evoperation, i.e from water to water vapour. Sea or river water gets evoperated during the summer due to sun heat. This evopeartion takes place at atmospheric pressure. That means change of phase takes place of sea water at atmospheric pressure, But I am wondered that I have never heard of sea or river water is boiling or has 100 deg. surface temp. Please resolve my worng thinking, if any. Thanks.
