Where does more water evaporation occur?
More evaporation of water mostly takes place in the oceans.
What body of water gives more evaporation?
This body of water is formed by oceans.
How much precipitation and evaporation occurs over the ocean as compared to land?
This is a complex question, but in broad terms the oceans evaporate as little as 11 cms a year (recorded in 1977) up to 110 cms a year (recorded in 2003). The amount of rain on land is difficult to estimate or even impossible, tropical rainfal, for example, comprises of more than two thirds of the rainfall on Earth. As for evaporation, up to 80% occurs from the Oceans and Seas
Does it make the ocean more or less dense when the oceans water evaporates?
More dense, however the effect that evaporation has on the oceans is negligible due to their sheer size.
Why lakes have more evaporation than oceans?
Because lakes consist of less pollution and purer water than oceans, thus, letting the water filter through into the air more quickly.
Where does more precipitation occur over the oceans or over the land?
Precipitation occurs more over land because when it rains, The rain collects together in a runoff, leading in to the ocean. This is 100% Correct because I am learning it right now!
Oceans cover more of Earth's surface than land?
Yes, oceans cover more of Earth's surface than land. The oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contain 97 percent of the Earth's water.
Do hurricanes occur more near certain oceans?
Hurricanes originate in the Caribbean.
How did land bridges help people migrate around the world during during the ice ages?
During a glaciation, water evaporated from the oceans falls on the land in higher latitudes as snow. If the snow doesn't melt during successive cold summers it builds up and turns to ice. Repeated evaporation and snowfall causes the oceans to lose water over many years, this causes the level of the oceans to drop, revealing more land above sea level. What was previously a shallow sea becomes dry land, hence a "land bridge".
What heats more slowly than land?
Water (the oceans).
Why does more water evaporate off of oceans than off of land?
Because the water area of oceans is greater than the water areas from the land.
What is the Difference between oceans and land absorb the Sun's energy?
Land reflects the Sun's energy slowly, while oceans absorb it more quickly.
