An estimated 398,000 km3 (95,000 cu mi) of rain water falls over the oceans each year. This is approximately 78.8% of global annual precipitation. This makes sense because the oceans take up about 77.5% of Earth's surface area. If you do the math, the average annual precipitation for the ocean is about 1 meter (40 in.) per year.
What else can I help you with?
What is the average yearly of rainfall in pelagic zone?
The pelagic zone is the open ocean and does not receive rainfall in the same way as land areas. Rainfall is not measured in the pelagic zone, but rather in coastal areas where precipitation occurs.
What boundary is oceanic lithosphere melted at?
Benioff zone
A region where oceanic plates sink down?
Subduction Zone
What zone formed where two oceanic plates collide?
A subduction zone is formed where two oceanic plates collide. One plate is forced beneath the other, creating a deep trench and often leading to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Why is the geothermal gradient lower than average in subduction zonegeology?
because the oceanic crust lithospher descend into the mantle at the subduction zone .it will be taken to increasing higher temperature as it get deeper

Octupuses are in the oceanic zone. Octupuses live in the deepest parts of the ocean.
What is the subduction zone called when a oceanic and continental plate converge?
The subduction zone formed when an oceanic plate and a continental plate converge is called an oceanic-continental subduction zone. In this setting, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the less dense continental plate, leading to the formation of volcanic arcs and deep oceanic trenches.
What is intertidal zone as it relates to oceanic lithosphere?
The intertidal zone is not related to the oceanic lithosphere because it is located on the continental shelf.
