Taking 200 meters off the Med via evaporation would put that into the atmosphere over time as clouds and eventually rain out over both land and oceans. The water that falls over land that is previously dry would soak into the vadose zone and ve stored as ground water until saturation is reached then Hortonian overland flows would begin starting a runoff cycle. Some of that run off would be trapped in recharge zones of aquifers and others would run off into either back into the Med basin or redsea or north sea or Atlantic ocean. Over all it would eventually raise the worlds oceans a small amount all the mass of water not stored in biomass or ground water or ice in glaciters in the Alps. Given the relative size of the Med vs the world ocean for which there truly is only one. The effect would be a few centimeters at most. Yes as a matter of fact I am a hydrogeologist :)

thank you...

and for the exact same reason, an Antarctic ice melt would result in same-same?
