How much precipitation occurs over the ocean in the water cycle?
Precipitation over the ocean in the water cycle accounts for about 45 of the total global precipitation.
What happens to the salt in the clouds after it gets picked up from the ocean?
The salt in the clouds eventually returns to the Earth's surface through precipitation, such as rain or snow. As the water droplets in the clouds condense and form precipitation, they carry the salt with them back to the ground.
Why does most precipitation fall into the ocean?
Most precipitation falls into the ocean because about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water. The water cycle drives the movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere and back again through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, resulting in a large amount of rainfall in the ocean.
The water in the atmosphere is returned to earth by?
The water in the atmosphere is returned to Earth through precipitation, which includes rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This process helps maintain the water cycle by supplying fresh water to the Earth's surface for various purposes such as drinking, agriculture, and ecosystem health.
What are three steps of the water cycle if the rain falls directly into the oceans?
Evaporation: The sun heats up ocean water, causing it to evaporate and rise into the atmosphere. Condensation: The evaporated water forms clouds as it cools and condenses in the atmosphere. Precipitation: When the clouds become saturated with water, rain falls directly into the oceans, completing the water cycle.
Is more water evaporated from ocean than is returned to the ocean by precipitation?
On a long term an equilibrium exist.
True or false Currently more water is evaporated from the ocean than is returned to the ocean by precipitation?
Precipitation also falls on landforms and has to work its way down to the sea. Thus in a broad sense, True but in a narrow sense, False. I would go with the broad sense and answer TRUE. Phew !!!
How is the ocean apart of the water cycle?
Water is evaporated from oceans. It is returned back to oceans.
Do earths ocean gain or lose waterconsidering evaporation and precipitation together?
No water is lost or gained because the water from precipitation comes from the water that has been evaporated.
Why is there more precipitation in Florida than Kansas?
Florida is closer to the equator and is next to the ocean so more water is evaporated
The principal source of evaporated water that becomes precipitation is?
The principal source of evaporated water in our atmosphere is also the largest source of water on our planet. It is the water evaporating from our oceans. Water also evaporates from lakes, rivers, streams or any other place where water can be found.
Why does the ocean water get saltier after evaporation?
If water is evaporated salt remain in the ocean.
Do the oceans supply 90 percent of the evaporated water that goes into the water cycle?
it is precipitation
How much water in the water cycle is evaporated from the ocean?
Try it!
Why is precipitation the largest source of water for the water cycle?
Precipitation provides more water for the oceans and lakes, thus providing more water to be evaporated and turned into clouds.
How do you get salt out of the ocean?
To obtain salt water is evaporated.
What makes cirrus clouds?
Water vapor and evaporated water from the ocean
