Approximately 71 of the Earth's precipitation occurs over oceans.
The yearly total precipitation over the oceans is greater than over continents because oceans cover more of the Earth's surface and therefore have a larger area from which to receive precipitation. Additionally, the oceans are able to retain heat better than land, leading to more evaporation and subsequent precipitation. Ocean currents also play a role in transporting moisture to different regions, contributing to higher precipitation levels over oceans.
Oceans
The equator is the part of Earth's surface where most evaporation occurs due to the higher temperatures. In contrast, the intertropical convergence zone near the equator is where most precipitation falls as warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to condensation and rainfall.
Yes, approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, so it is true that a significant portion of precipitation falls into the oceans. This is due to the oceans' large surface area and their role in the global water cycle.
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.
All of it All of it
The difference between evaporation and precipitation is that evaporation occurs at the top while precipitation happens at the bottom of the surface.They are related since they all deal with heating liquids into vapour and released into the atmosphere.
About 80% of water
if evaporation is considered part of precipitation it odes because precipitation causes evaporation
In order to maintainEarth'swater balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans.
The largest percentage of the earths surface is covered by water mainly the Oceans (about 71%).
Earths oceans gain water considering evaporation and precipitation together since when vapour is released to the atmosphere it condenses and later falls back as rainfall by about (1-5)%
An equilibrium exist on long term.

Water naturally occurs on Earth through the water cycle, which includes processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. The majority of Earth's water is found in oceans, lakes, and rivers, with a smaller percentage stored in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers. This natural distribution of water plays a crucial role in sustaining life on the planet.
no not really
More precipitation typically occurs over the ocean because of the larger surface area covered by oceans compared to land. Water bodies like the ocean provide more moisture for the atmosphere to generate precipitation through processes like evaporation.
