Why does most of the rain that falls come from the ocean?
Most of the rain that falls comes from the ocean because the sun's heat evaporates ocean water, turning it into water vapor in the atmosphere. As the water vapor cools and condenses, clouds form and eventually release rain. Since oceans cover a significant portion of the Earth's surface, they are the primary source of moisture for the water cycle and subsequent rainfall.
How much water falls back as rain during the water cycle?
During the water cycle, approximately 78 of the water that evaporates falls back as rain.
How much of water that falls on land comes from the oceans?
About 70% of the precipitation that falls on the land originates from the oceans. This water evaporates from the ocean surface, forms clouds, and is transported by atmospheric circulation patterns to eventually fall as rain or snow over land areas.
Does a hurricane rain ocean water or regular water?
A hurricane typically produces heavy rain using regular water from the atmosphere, not ocean water. The intense winds of a hurricane can pick up moisture from the ocean surface and carry it over land, where it falls as precipitation.
What happens if too much rain or snow falls at once?
If too much rain or snow falls at once, it can lead to flooding, landslides, or avalanches. Excessive rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems, causing water to accumulate and flood low-lying areas. Heavy snowfall can increase the risk of avalanches in mountainous regions and cause roofs to collapse under the weight.
