Where on earth does evaporation occurs?
it occurs in warm ocean areas near the equator
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
Where on earth does the most evaporation occur?
it occurs in warm ocean areas near the equator
What changes of state occurs when water from the surface of the ocean enters the atmosphere as water vapor?
Evaporation
When evaporation occurs how does that affect the salt in the ocean?
Not at all because when the water evaporates the salt remains unchanged
From what bodies of water do you think most evaporation occurs?
the ocean because its the largest water source on earth
What happens at the surface of the ocean in the water cycle?
At the surface of the ocean in the water cycle, the process of evaporation occurs. The sun's heat causes water molecules to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere. This water vapor eventually condenses to form clouds and can later precipitate as rain or snow.
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.
Where does most evaporation in the global water cycle occur?
The Atmosphere
What process cools the ocean?
Evaporation.
What are two ways the salinity of ocean water can increase?
Decreasing the temperature, evaporating water, or adding more salt.
What sequence of process transports water from the ocean into a cloud?
Evaporation and condensation transport water from the ocean into a cloud.
