What is the ratio of water than falls on land as compared to the amount that falls onto the oceans?

Geography
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
8 0
Ocean waters get around 77% of the precipitation, while the land gets about 23% of the precipitation. This is due to the fact that the oceans have 96.5% of the water in the world, so most of the evaporation is above them, but that also leads to precipitation over the land, so the percentage of water compared to the percentage of precipitation is not the same.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Maps and globes are drawn to scale and use symbols to represent topography and other features on Earth's surface. Grid lines on maps and globes are often used, with lines curving because the Earth is a sphere. The baselines for measuring distance on Earth are the equator and the Prime Meridian. Satellites are also often used as a mean to graph.

How are the troposphere and the stratosphere different
Likurg_2 [28]

Differences between the Troposphere and the Stratosphere:

The troposphere is the lowest level of the atmosphere, so it is in contact with the Earth’s surface. In contrast, the stratosphere is located above the troposphere, so it is not in contact with the Earth’s surface.  Humans live in the troposphere, not the stratosphere. People only spend time in the stratosphere is when they are traveling through it on an airplane, or flying through it while riding in a rocket.  The air density and air pressure are much lower in the stratosphere. In fact, stratospheric air is too thin for people to be able to survive without pressurized air to breathe.
