Do the oceans supply 90 percent of the evaporated water that goes into the water cycle?
it is precipitation
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.
What produces the most oxygen found in the ocean?
because huge amounts of water evaporate from the oceans every day. this evaporated water is carried by the wind around the globe. eventually, the water fall as rain or snow. without this precipitation, life on land would not be possible.
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
Why do you need to eat a pinch of salt when you get rained on?
Because rain is evaporated oceans and sea water
The principal source of evaporated water that becomes precipitation is?
The principal source of evaporated water in our atmosphere is also the largest source of water on our planet. It is the water evaporating from our oceans. Water also evaporates from lakes, rivers, streams or any other place where water can be found.
Does most water evaporate into oceans or puddles?
Most water is evaporated from oceans.
How does the water cycle affect people?
In the water cycle the water from the oceans are evaporated into clouds by the sun. As more water is evaporated up in the clouds, more water would fall down as precipitation. The water falls because eventually there is so much water in the clouds that the clouds could not hold it all and the rain begins to fall. The precipitation either releases as rain or as snow. The water or rain flows off the runoff and goes bad into the ocean. Plants also use precipitation to keep themselves healthy, decreasing the chances of becoming dead. The water cycle affects water table levels because for example if the water evaporates into the clouds and the precipitation goes into the soil for the plants that will lower the water table levels because the water goes into the plant and can no longer go back into the oceans.

What keeps oceans full?
Oceans are kept full by the constant drainage (via rivers, streams, etc.) and precipitation of water into them, causing an equilibrium between what is evaporated and what is coming in. Since Earth is virtually a closed system (no water generally leaves earth or comes to Earth), the amount of water on Earth remains a constant, and whatever is evaporated condenses eventually and precipitates over land or the oceans in the form of rain, snow, hail, etc., and (after melting, if frozen) flows back to the oceans.
Do earths oceans gain or lose water considering evaporation and precipitation together if so how much?
if evaporation is considered part of precipitation it odes because precipitation causes evaporation
How is the ocean apart of the water cycle?
Water is evaporated from oceans. It is returned back to oceans.
Where does more precipitation occurover the ocean or over the land?
because water evaporates more in oceans
