Precipitation. Continued cooling of the water vapor in the clouds causes water droplets to grow. Eventually, droplets join other droplets and form drops too heavy to stay in the clouds. The heavy droplets begin to fall as rain. The movement of raindrops from the atmosphere to the Earth is precipitation. Snow may form instead of raindrops if the water vapor condenses below the freezing point.
Some areas lose more water to evaporation than they gain as precipitation. Other locations receive more precipitation than they lose to evaporation. Whatever the form of precipitation, water lost by evaporation over the entire surface of the Earth equals the amount of water falling as precipitation.

Why the yearly total precipitation over the oceans is greater than the yearly total precipitation over the continents?
because there are less oceans then continentss
Is it true that most precipitation falls into the oceans?
true
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.
When rain and snow return to earth what is it called?
Precipitation
Which process return water to Earth?
Water cycle returns water to earth. It is a continuous cyclic process.
Where does precipitation eventually make its way?
Mostly into the oceans.

Does oceans get precipitation?
yes the ocean gets precipitation (2nd person) You'ld bettering check yours grammar.
What is the water cycle-?
It is the cycle of processes whereby water circulates between the earth's oceans, the atmosphere, and land, involving precipitation as rain and snow, the drainage in streams and rivers, and then return to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration.
How does the warmingvof the worlds oceans disrupt the flow of the water cycle?
It increases the amount of precipitation:) X4
