Evaporation exceeds precipitation.


Why does the sea level not drop if evaporation exceeds precipitation?

Because this would only occur at a regional scale. Water from elsewhere would move in to replace the miniscule amount that was evaporated. This way, sea level is roughly in balance in terms of evaporation and precipitation.


What happens when precipitation exceeds evaporation?

When precipitation exceeds evaporation, there will be an accumulation of water in the environment, leading to increased levels of surface water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater. This excess water can potentially result in flooding and waterlogging in certain areas.


Climates where evaporation exceeds precipitation are called?

What is the name of the area where the annual rate of evaporation exceeds the rate of precipitation?

it is called desert because there is high level of sunshine and of course evaporation with little rain.


In which biome do the evaporation rates exceed the precipitation rates?

The deserts biome is an example where evaporation rates often exceed precipitation rates. These regions receive limited rainfall, resulting in higher evaporation due to the intense heat and lack of moisture in the air.


What are some good desert facts?

Deserts receive less tha 10 inches (250mm) of precipitation per year. Deserts have an evaporation rate that far exceeds the precipitation rate.


Why is the Mojave Desert a desert?

The Mojave receives less than 10 inches of rain on average per year and the evaporation rate exceeds the precipitation rate. Both are descriptions of a desert.
