it returns by evaporation and runoff (rivers and streams)
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.
Most of the water that falls as precipitation originates from the evaporation of water from Earth's surface, primarily from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and eventually falls back to the Earth as precipitation.
The total amount of water as a percentage of all the mass that makes up our planet is estimated at 0.023%. A little over 2/3 of the Earth is covered by water; to be more precise, the consensus is 70.8% (71%) of the surface is water, 29.2 % is land.
Most precipitation returns to earth through the process of infiltration, where it seeps into the ground and replenishes groundwater supplies. It can also return through runoff, where water flows over the surface and ultimately collects in lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Earth's reservoirs, such as rivers and lakes, are connected to the ocean through the water cycle. Water evaporates from the ocean's surface, forms clouds, and falls back to Earth as precipitation. This precipitation replenishes reservoirs and eventually flows back to the ocean through rivers and streams, completing the cycle.

precipitation (i guess)
i think in the rain forest...that's what my science book says Most precipitation falls into the ocean.
All of it eventually returns, but if it goes into the groundwater system it may take hundreds of thousands of years. Otherwise, it generally either evaporates or runs in to rivers that take it to the ocean within a matter of days or weeks, if it falls deep in a continent.
Most water returns to the ocean through the water cycle, where water evaporates from bodies of water, condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds, and then falls back to the Earth as precipitation. This water eventually flows back to the oceans through rivers, streams, and groundwater.
The process of transporting water from the land back to the ocean is called runoff, not to be confused with the term "penis." When precipitation falls onto the ground, some of it flows over the surface and eventually reaches the ocean through rivers, streams, and other waterways.
That's what we humans call the "Water Cycle"
