What else can I help you with?
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 !!!
Why does the ocean water get saltier after evaporation?
If water is evaporated salt remain in the ocean.
Is it true that all runoff from precipitation is quickly evaporated back into the atmosphere?
No, this is only true in arid areas. In most places, runoff finds a river and flows into a lake or ocean. Generally not a lot of it will be evaporated immediately, especially if it's not very warm.
Why does water that has evaporated from the oceans precipitate as fresh water instead of salt water?
During the process of evaporation, only the water molecules evaporate, leaving behind the salt and impurities. When the evaporated water condenses and forms clouds, it eventually falls as precipitation (rain) because the salt and impurities are left behind in the ocean. This process results in fresh water precipitation.
How does water from precipitation make its way back to the ocean?
Evaporation of water in the oceans is later precipitated as rain or snow onto the continents. A portion of this precipitation makes its way to rivers.Precipitation

How is the ocean apart of the water cycle?
Water is evaporated from oceans. It is returned back to oceans.
More water is evaporated from the ocean than is returned to the ocean by precipitation?
Evaporation occurs when water changes from liquid to water vapor and rises into the atmosphere, while precipitation is when water vapor condenses and falls back to the Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Overall, the process of evaporation and precipitation is part of the water cycle, where water is constantly moving and cycling around the Earth.
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
