Why doesn't sea level drop despite oceans experiencing a higher rate of evaporation than precipitation?
Sea level doesn't drop despite oceans experiencing higher evaporation than precipitation because the water that evaporates from the oceans eventually returns as precipitation, maintaining a balance in the water cycle.
Why does sea level not drop when evaporation exceeds precipitation?
The sea level drops when water comes out of the oceans and stays out. The only time this happens is during an ice age, when ice caps and glaciers grow and cover huge areas of the land.Sea levels are beginning to rise now because ice is melting and running into the sea. The warming atmosphere is also warming the ocean waters, which expand, another reason for the rising.
How many times can a drop of a drop of water go round the water cycle?
A drop of water can go through the water cycle an unlimited number of times since the water cycle is a continuous process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. This means that the same drop of water can be evaporated, form clouds, fall as precipitation, and return to the Earth's surface multiple times throughout the water cycle.
What is evaporation condesation and precipitation part of?
Evaporation, condensation and precipitation is part of the water in weather. Evaporation is the water cycle in which water is turned into vapor and rises to form clouds which eventaully condense and drop the vapor int he form of rain or snow. Rain ro snow is called precipitation. Condensation is the poitn where cold and hot meet to cause a warming up fo cold which produces water.
Why does the toilet bowl water level drop overnight?
The toilet bowl water level drops overnight due to evaporation and small leaks in the toilet's plumbing system.
What happen to a drop of water in the water cycle?
A drop of water in the water cycle may evaporate due to heat, forming water vapor. This vapor then condenses into clouds, falls back to Earth as precipitation, and re-enters bodies of water through runoff or infiltration, continuing the cycle.
How much water should a pool lose in April?
The National Weather Service uses a large water pan with a diameter of 4 feet. They measure the drop in water level in one day, fill it back to the level it was before and measure the level drop the next day. They and others do this all over the United States. Others do it throughout the world. The Weather Service reports the evaporation at each location, each day, and sum all these daily values up to obtain an annual evaporation rate in inches. All the data through the US is collected and compiled into an annual evaporation map. Looking at the annual evaporation map one can find the average annual evaporation rate for any location. It is roughly 100 inches for Tucson, Arizona. The evaporation rate varies with temperature, wind speed, sunshine, and relative humidity. The evaporation rate also varies throughout the year. A rough daily rate is given by dividing the annual rate by 365 days. Rough daily evaporation rate = Annual Evaporation rate / 365 For Tucson the rough evaporation rate is 100 inches/365 which is about 1/3 inch per day. Swimming pool If we use this rough evaporation rate, we can find how much a swimming pool water level might drop in 5 days Total surface drop = (5 days) (daily evaporation rate)
How does temperature affect precipitation?
Precipitation does not directly affect the temperature. However, because there are often clouds that come with precipitation, this indirectly causes a drop in temperature.
How would a drop in temperature by 5 degrees affects evaporation?
Slower Evaporation/ Less particles changing state
A drop of liquid precipitation that is 2 mm in diameter is?
A drop of liquid precipitation that is 2 mm in diameter is considered very small. It would likely be classified as a fine mist or drizzle.
What makes a small pond drop in dry weather?
Because of precipitation.
What are two ways for air to become saturated?
From increased evaporation or from a drop in the temperature.
