Why does evaporation increase in density of ocean water?
Because the salt doesn't freeze out with the ice. This leaves the sea water saltier, hence more dense.
What are the changes of state from water in the ocean through evaporation then condensation into clouds?
Evaporation change the liquid water into a gas; condensation is the reverse process.
What process cools the ocean?
Evaporation.
Is the ocean connected to all of Earth's water reservoirs through the processes of evaporation and precipitation?
Yes because The ocean is the main sorce of water
What type of energy powers the water cycle radiant potential or mechanical?
By the water cycle I think you mean the cycle whereby the sun warms the ocean, causes evaporation, which falls as rain and returns to the ocean by rivers, and so on? It is radiant energy from the sun which powers this cycle.
Is the only way water leaves the ocean through evaporation?
It isn't necessarily the only way, but it is one of the few ways that water leaves the ocean.
When precipitation falls onto earth it returns to the ocean by?
it returns by evaporation and runoff (rivers and streams)
Why do evaporation and rain affect surface salinity of ocean water?
Because the process of evaporation leaves behind salt and rain is an result of evaporation
Is The Great Salt Lake salty because it is so close to the ocean?
No.The reason it is so salty is because it only leaves the lake through evaporation and the water leaves the salt behind.
Through which process does water move from the ocean to the air?
It is evaporation
The hydrosphere which consists of all of Earth's water is maintained?
There is a water cycle. Water evaporates, but then it rains back down. It leaves the ocean and returns to the ocean.
Why does evaporation increase in density of ocean water?
Because the salt doesn't freeze out with the ice. This leaves the sea water saltier, hence more dense.
What are the changes of state from water in the ocean through evaporation then condensation into clouds?
Evaporation change the liquid water into a gas; condensation is the reverse process.
Water moves from land to the atmosphere through?
The movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere, to the land, and back to the ocean is called the water cycle. The water cycle consists of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection.
What process cools the ocean?
Evaporation.
Where does water vapor come from?
water vapor comes from the ocean water when it goes through evaporation.
How does evaporation affects salinity?
Evaporation leaves salt behind. So as ocean water decreases, the percentage of salt increases, increasing salinity. As evaporation increases, rainfall also increases, thus it decreasing the salinity of ocean water.
