Why does more evaporation occur over the oceans than over freshwater sources?

• Fresh water doesn't evaporate as well as salt water.

• Air over fresh water is more dense.

• Greater surface area.

• Oceans are in contact with more land than other water sources.

Weather on Earth is affected by the oceans in what ways?

• Water evaporates from the ocean, causing clouds to form and send rain back to Earth.

• Waves in the ocean causes storms by pushing on the air above.

• Salt in the ocean dries the air above, causing the air to heat up and rise.

• Because water in the ocean is cooler than the air above, it keeps the air temperatures lower.
