Because the Earth<span> is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense sunlight, hence heat, at the equator than at the poles.</span>
The distribution of heat around the globe, and through the year, coupled with the physical properties of air, produce a distinctive pattern of climatic zones.
Heterotrophic cells must ingest biomass to obtain their energy and nutrition. Heterotrophic microorganisms mostly feed upon dead plants and animals, and are known as decomposers. ... Some animals also specialize on feeding on dead organic matter, and are known as scavengers or detritivores. Hope this was helpful.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
exceeds evaporation over land
Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
- Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
- Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.
