Precipitation provides more water for the oceans and lakes, thus providing more water to be evaporated and turned into clouds.
How much precipitation and evaporation occurs over the ocean as compared to land?
This is a complex question, but in broad terms the oceans evaporate as little as 11 cms a year (recorded in 1977) up to 110 cms a year (recorded in 2003). The amount of rain on land is difficult to estimate or even impossible, tropical rainfal, for example, comprises of more than two thirds of the rainfall on Earth. As for evaporation, up to 80% occurs from the Oceans and Seas
