What else can I help you with?
When water from the ocean evaporates and turns into water vapor the amount of water decreases or increase?
The amount of water in the ocean temporary decrease.
What happens to most of the rain that falls the earth?
Most of the rain that falls on Earth either evaporates back into the atmosphere, infiltrates into the ground to replenish groundwater sources, or runs off into rivers and streams eventually flowing back into oceans. This water cycle helps maintain Earth's ecosystems and sustains life.
Does concentration of salt go up or down when water evaporates from an ocean?
The concentration of salt increases when water evaporates from the ocean because only water evaporates, leaving the salt behind. This process is known as "evaporative concentration" and is one of the reasons why ocean water is saline.
What is a source of most water that evaporates from earths surface?
This source is ocean waters.
Why does not rain salty when the clouds are made from the ocean?
Rain is formed when water droplets in the clouds combine and become heavy enough to fall to the ground. The salt particles in the ocean water are left behind when the water evaporates to form clouds, so the rain that falls is typically fresh water. Salt water is not generally carried up into the atmosphere where clouds form.
What is the effect if the average amount of water that evaporates from the earth's ocean each year and the amount that returns by precipitation?
That's what we humans call the "Water Cycle"
What happens to the salt in the ocean when water evaporates?
When water evaporates from the ocean, the salt remains behind. This process leaves the salt concentration in the ocean water higher than before evaporation.
When water from the ocean evaporates and turns into water vapor the amount of water decreases or increase?
The amount of water in the ocean temporary decrease.
What happens when water is heated by the sun?
It heats the ocean surface and causes evaporation.it evaporates and turns into rain
How water evaporates from the oceans?
80 percent evaporates from the ocean. Incorrect !!! All water in the water cycle of Earth evaporates from oceans and works its way back to the ocean. Evaporation from rivers, lakes, ponds etc. is a temporary stage of the overall trip back to its origin in the oceans.
What is the largest amount of liquid at any point in time on the earth?
the ocean the ocean
How are earth's reservoirs connected to the ocean?
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.
How much of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is fresh water?
Only about 10 of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is fresh water.
Why does the Pacific Ocean have more salt?
The Atlantic ocean is very salty because of the effects of the winds around it. Typically, the Atlantic is fed by wind coming off of the United States. This continental wind is often dry, so it brings very little water to the Atlantic. When water from the Atlantic evaporates, it evaporates as freshwater, leaving behind its salt. This evaporated water is then blown by winds into the Pacific Ocean. When this happens, all that is left is salty water.
What ocean covers the least amount of the earth's surface?
mount k2
What ecosystem accounts for the largest amount of earth's nutritional resources?
ocean
What are the probable sources of salt in the atmosphere?
the ocean. water from the ocean evaporates into the air, ocean water has salt in it.
