Question

Do Earth's continents gain or lose water, considering evaporation and precipitation together? How much ? Plz help :)) Thx

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of water in circulation is the same

Explanation:

The water cycle is the pathway in which water moves from the atmosphere to the earth and back to atmosphere ones again.

During the sunny period, the temperature of the earth is heated up, water evaporates to the atmosphere as water vapour. The water vapour gathers as cloud and comes back to the earth as rain, which enters our rivers and stream. Thereby maintaining a continuous cycle.

With the water cycle, the movement of water via precipitation and evaporation is the same on earth.
