Temperature fluctuations in the western oceans are much more dramatic than in the eastern oceans. This results in increased rainfall. Around 95,000 cubic miles of rain falls over the world's oceans each year, more than half of which falls in the western oceans.

∙ 10y agoAn estimated 398,000 km3 (95,000 cu mi) of rain water falls over the oceans each year. This is approximately 78.8% of global annual precipitation. This makes sense because the oceans take up about 77.5% of Earth's surface area. If you do the math, the average annual precipitation for the ocean is about 1 meter (40 in.) per year.

Salinity is the saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water.The average ocean salinity is 35 ppt. This number varies between about 32 and 37 ppt.
