80 percent evaporates from the ocean.
Incorrect !!!
All water in the water cycle of Earth evaporates from oceans and works its way back to the ocean. Evaporation from rivers, lakes, ponds etc. is a temporary stage of the overall trip back to its origin in the oceans.

When water from the ocean evaporates and turns into water vapor the amount of water decreases or increase?
The amount of water in the ocean temporary decrease.
Why does not rain salty when the clouds are made from the ocean?
Only the water evaporates from the ocean and the salt remains. Mix up a glass of salt water and let it sit until the water evaporates and the glass will contain the same amount of salt you added to it.
What do evaporation and freezing increase in the ocean?
Salinity will be increased in the ocean when water evaporates and when it freezes.Ocean water.
Why does the addition of rain and river water to the ocean not decrease the ocean's overall?

What happens to most of the rain that falls the earth?

What is the effect if the average amount of water that evaporates from the earth's ocean each year and the amount that returns by precipitation?
That's what we humans call the "Water Cycle"
When water from the ocean evaporates and turns into water vapor the amount of water decreases or increase?
The amount of water in the ocean temporary decrease.
What happens when water is heated by the sun?
It heats the ocean surface and causes evaporation.it evaporates and turns into rain
Describe an example of how water moves through the hydrosphere?
water evaporates from the ocean to the atmosphere, falls back to earth as rain, and runs into the ocean.

Why does the Pacific Ocean have more salt?
The Atlantic ocean is very salty because of the effects of the winds around it. Typically, the Atlantic is fed by wind coming off of the United States. This continental wind is often dry, so it brings very little water to the Atlantic. When water from the Atlantic evaporates, it evaporates as freshwater, leaving behind its salt. This evaporated water is then blown by winds into the Pacific Ocean. When this happens, all that is left is salty water.
What ecosystem accounts for the largest amount of earth's nutritional resources?

What ocean covers the least amount of the earth's surface?
mount k2
What are the probable sources of salt in the atmosphere?
