Earth's oceans generally neither gain nor lose a significant amount of water when considering the combined effects of evaporation and precipitation. The water cycle works to maintain a balance between the two processes, with roughly the same amount of water evaporating from the oceans as is returned through precipitation. Any imbalances are typically minor and localized.
