Earth's continents generally lose water through processes like evaporation, runoff, and transpiration. However, they can also gain water from precipitation, rivers, and groundwater influx. Overall, the balance of water gained and lost varies by region and climate. In many areas, particularly arid regions, the loss often outweighs the gain, leading to water scarcity.

Do earths oceans gain or lose water considering evaporation and condensation?

An equilibrium exist on long term.


Does earths oceans gain or lose water considering evaporation and precipitation together how much?

An equilibrium exist on long term.


Do oceans gain or lose water?

Oceans can both gain and lose water. They gain water from sources like rainfall, rivers, and melting ice caps. They lose water through processes like evaporation and when water is locked into glacial ice. Overall, the balance between these inputs and outputs determines whether the oceans are gaining or losing water.


Do earths oceans gain or lose water considering evaporation and precipitation together and how much?

Earths oceans gain water considering evaporation and precipitation together since when vapour is released to the atmosphere it condenses and later falls back as rainfall by about (1-5)%


In a hypo tonic solution will a cell gain or lose water or no net change?

The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
