True or false Currently more water is evaporated from the ocean than is returned to the ocean by precipitation?
Precipitation also falls on landforms and has to work its way down to the sea. Thus in a broad sense, True but in a narrow sense, False. I would go with the broad sense and answer TRUE. Phew !!!
Why does the ocean water get saltier after evaporation?
If water is evaporated salt remain in the ocean.
What is a water water cycle?
The definition of water cycle is the process by which water is used and recycled throughout the environment. It is used by plants or animals, evaporates into the air, and is then returned to the ground through precipitation.
What is word for water from the sky?
Precipitation is water that falls from the sky in the form of rain or snow, but water vapour is a form of water that has evaporated into the air.
How does water from precipitation make its way back to the ocean?
Evaporation of water in the oceans is later precipitated as rain or snow onto the continents. A portion of this precipitation makes its way to rivers.Precipitation
More water is evaporated from the ocean than is returned to the ocean by precipitation?
True.
How is the ocean apart of the water cycle?
Water is evaporated from oceans. It is returned back to oceans.
Do earths ocean gain or lose waterconsidering evaporation and precipitation together?
No water is lost or gained because the water from precipitation comes from the water that has been evaporated.

Why is there more precipitation in Florida than Kansas?
Florida is closer to the equator and is next to the ocean so more water is evaporated
What is precipitation and why does it occur?
Precipitation is rain. It happens when the water is evaporated into the clouds amd then the clouds release the water vapor into a liquid form.
Do the oceans supply 90 percent of the evaporated water that goes into the water cycle?
it is precipitation
Why does the ocean water get saltier after evaporation?
If water is evaporated salt remain in the ocean.
The water in the atmosphere is returned to earth by?
The water is returned to earth by precipitation, which includes rain, hail, snow, drizzle.
Why is precipitation the largest source of water for the water cycle?
Precipitation provides more water for the oceans and lakes, thus providing more water to be evaporated and turned into clouds.
How are groundwater and runoff different and alike?
Well, groundwater and runoff both land on Earth as precipitation, but groundwater is water that gets trapped underground by seeping through rocks. You capture this water by wells. Runoff is when precipitation flows from (usually) mountains. The water gets into streams, and streams join to form rivers. The rivers would usually lead to the ocean. Most of the runoff gets evaporated when the water reaches the ocean; only a little-bit of the water in rivers and streams flowing down is evaporated then.
How much water in the water cycle is evaporated from the ocean?
Try it!
