What else can I help you with?
How manganese nodule form?
They are formed in oceans as a result of pelagic sedimentation or precipitation
Air masses that formed over oceans are called?
Maritime
What percentage of the earth's precipitation occurs over oceans?
Approximately 71 of the Earth's precipitation occurs over oceans.
Lakes rivers and oceans are examples of?
Precipitation
Why the yearly total precipitation over the oceans is greater than the yearly total precipitation over the continents?
The yearly total precipitation over the oceans is greater than over continents because oceans cover more of the Earth's surface and therefore have a larger area from which to receive precipitation. Additionally, the oceans are able to retain heat better than land, leading to more evaporation and subsequent precipitation. Ocean currents also play a role in transporting moisture to different regions, contributing to higher precipitation levels over oceans.
What is it called when rain snow sleet and hail hit the earth's surface and roll down into rivers oceans and lakes?
Precipitation.
What are the 2 ways that limestone can be formed?
By cooling of molten rock under the oceans
How were oceans formed?
It was about 4 billion years ago, that the Earths oceans formed
What happened to water vapor when earth formed and cooled?
When the Earth formed and cooled, water vapor condensed into liquid water and fell as rain, filling the forming oceans. This process, known as the "water cycle," involved continuous evaporation and precipitation of water, contributing to the formation of the Earth's oceans and atmosphere.
Water falls to the land and oceans during?
Precipitation
Where does precipitation eventually make its way?
Mostly into the oceans.
Is it true that most precipitation falls into the oceans?
Yes, approximately 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans, so it is true that a significant portion of precipitation falls into the oceans. This is due to the oceans' large surface area and their role in the global water cycle.
