Describe the path a molecule of water might follow through the hydrologic cycle from the ocean to land and back again?
Water evaporates from the oceans to form clouds that are moved over land by prevailing winds. Then rainfall brings it to earth where it is returned to the oceans by tributaries and rivers.
What are the forces that drive the water cycle?
The driving force for the hydrologic cycle is the sun, which provides the energy needed for evaporation like the flame for a gas stove gives the energy for water to boil water and make steam. Water changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state as it evaporates from the oceans, lakes, streams, and soil. The oceans are where the most water is so that's where most of the evaporation happens.
Is it true that winds blowing inland from oceans carry less water thyan winds blowing from land?
No, on all year long.
How does ocean affect the climate of continent?
Oceans have lots of water. This water can cause hurricanes or tropical storms. Winds coming off the ocean can cool the land.
Why does rainfall approach at different times at different places?
due to fluctuations in temperature causing changes in the amount and rate of evaporation that occurs thus changing the amount of water vapour that can condense and come down to the earths surface. yoyostefan

What qualities do climates need to have to improve water evaporation?
High temperature, low pressure, low humidity, strong winds favors evaporation.
Is it true that winds blowing inland from oceans carry less water thyan winds blowing from land?
No, on all year long.
Why the amount of water vapour in atmospheric air varies?
Because the evaporation of water depends on many factors: temperature, pressure, winds, bodies of water.
What increases the temperature of the worlds oceans?
The temperatures of the world's oceans are increase by not only SOME of the heat rays from the sun but also from the winds that fly over the oceans. The winds carry hot (or cold) currents that fluxuate the temperatures of the water beneath it.
Does typhoon involve water?
A typhoon involves massive amounts of water and rainfall. Typhoons increase the storm surges of the oceans, rainfall, and high winds.
What is the evaporation rate for Chicago?
Evaporation changes from day to day, it all depends on humidity and prevailing winds.
How does ocean affect the climate of continent?
Oceans have lots of water. This water can cause hurricanes or tropical storms. Winds coming off the ocean can cool the land.
What needs hurricanes to continue to grow?
Warm water in the ocean causes hurricanes to grow and be sustained. Their energy comes from the evaporation of water from the ocean surface. The water condenses and forms clouds and rain.
How does closeness to water affect temperature?
Closeness to water refers to the distance a place is from the ocean. It can affect temperature because during winter time the land but oceans are still warm. When winds blow over the warm ocean it absorbs the heat from the water. As the warm winds pass over the colder land it will raise the temperature over the land. Therefore, places closer to oceans have milder winters then places farther from oceans which will have more extreme winters.
What influences winds and contribute to Earth's uneven heat?
oceans
