Question

Precipitation _____. occurs equally all over the globe is the change in state from a gas to a liquid happens when ice changes into water vapor exceeds evaporation over land

Answer 1

Answer;

exceeds evaporation over land

Precipitation exceeds evaporation over land

Explanation;

• In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.
• 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.
