Water falls to the land and oceans during?
Precipitation
True or false little precipitation actually falls directly into the ocean?
false, lots of precipiation in the ocean
Is it true that most precipitation falls into the oceans?
Yes, approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, so it is true that a significant portion of precipitation falls into the oceans. This is due to the oceans' large surface area and their role in the global water cycle.
What are three steps of the water cycle if the rain falls directly into the oceans?
Evaporation: The sun heats up ocean water, causing it to evaporate and rise into the atmosphere. Condensation: The evaporated water forms clouds as it cools and condenses in the atmosphere. Precipitation: When the clouds become saturated with water, rain falls directly into the oceans, completing the water cycle.
Where does most of the water that falls to the Earth as precipitation originate?
Most of the water that falls as precipitation originates from the evaporation of water from Earth's surface, primarily from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and eventually falls back to the Earth as precipitation.
What does most precipitation fall into?
i think in the rain forest...that's what my science book says Most precipitation falls into the ocean.
What is the average precipitation for the open ocean?
Temperature fluctuations in the western oceans are much more dramatic than in the eastern oceans. This results in increased rainfall. Around 95,000 cubic miles of rain falls over the world's oceans each year, more than half of which falls in the western oceans.
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)%
How much of water that falls on land comes from the oceans?
About 70% of the precipitation that falls on the land originates from the oceans. This water evaporates from the ocean surface, forms clouds, and is transported by atmospheric circulation patterns to eventually fall as rain or snow over land areas.
What happens to the levels of the oceans in the water cycle?
During the evaporation stage, the level of water cycle falls. But after precipitation it rises once again.
Is the water that falls from the sky saltwater or freshwater?
The water that falls from the sky as rain is freshwater. It is collected from oceans and other bodies of water as vapor, which then condenses into clouds and is eventually released as precipitation.
What percentage of precipitation falls back onto land?
Approximately 78% of precipitation falls back onto land, with the remaining 22% falling on oceans, lakes, and rivers. This cycle of water is vital for sustaining life on Earth and ensures that fresh water is available for various ecosystems and human use.
