Fresh water - i.e. that on land - yes, to all intents and purposes is from the condensation and precipitation of water evaporated from the sea. A relatively tiny amount of water is released by volcanoes above subduction zones, but otherwise, the question's thesis is basically correct.

Where is the main source of water in the water cycle?
All water on Earth and in Earth's atmosphere is included in the water cycle.
What in the water cycle involves returning of fresh water to the earth?
precipitation A+
How the oceans which are salty in nature are the source of fresh water on earth?
Oceans are not the source of fresh water on Earth. Drinking water primarily comes from 4 sources. Lakes, rivers, groundwater, and glaciers. (Of course, all of it is purified before it reaches you.) ADDED: The oceans are fundamentally the source, because the water falling as rain and snow has been evaporated from the sea, and the evaporation leaves the salt behind.
Is it true or false that all precipitation is made of fresh water not salt water?
true .
What is an ecosystem that contains both salt water and fresh water?
Sorry for this short answer... Earth. A briny water ecosystem can contain both salt and fresh water, though it is all mixed together. These ecosystems are where a fresh water source, such as a river, meets a salt water source, such as an ocean. River deltas commonly have briny water.
What stage of water cycle supplies fresh water for aquifers?
The Precipitation stage of water cycle provides fresh water to the aquifiers. It is one of the major source of fresh water on earth.
Where is the main source of water in the water cycle?
All water on Earth and in Earth's atmosphere is included in the water cycle.
Is precipitation the source of all water on earth?
Fresh water - i.e. that on land - yes, to all intents and purposes is from the condensation and precipitation of water evaporated from the sea. A relatively tiny amount of water is released by volcanoes above subduction zones, but otherwise, the question's thesis is basically correct.
How many percentage of precipitation falls back onto land?
3% of Earth's water is fresh and of this 3%, 69% is Ice.Thus 97% of Earth's water is saltyand 2.07 of the fresh water is Ice.Which means 99.07% of Earth's water is not liquid fresh water.__________________________________________________________________The percentage of fresh water volume to total water is 2.5 %.Of this total volume 70% is ice.Of this fresh water around 30% is underground water.Fresh water lakes and rivers contain around 0.3% of total fresh water.The total usable fresh water is less than 1% of all fresh water resources.refer to link below
What in the water cycle involves returning of fresh water to the earth?
precipitation A+
Is the source of all clouds and precipitation water vapor?
The convection is the source of all clouds and precipitation
Does the water cycle consists of precipitation?
Yes, water cycle consists of precipitation. It brings the fresh water back to the water bodies.
What is the source of water in aquifers?
Precipitation.
What source of the water in aquifers?
Precipitation.
What is the water source in aquifers?
Precipitation.
Which process return water to Earth?
Water cycle returns water to earth. It is a continuous cyclic process.
Where does most precipitation return to earth?
Most precipitation returns to earth in the ocean. This precipitation comes from water that went from the earth into the atmosphere.
