Why are the oceans important to the water cycle?

The water cycle is the process by which water leaves Earth's surface, enters the atmosphere, and is returned to the surface. Since most of Earth's surface is ocean water, the oceans provide most of the water vapor.

The water cycle creates water vapor. the ocean is a part of the water cycle. So that means that students should drink water to stay healthy and be part of the water cycle too.

The oceans covers 75% of the Earth, so the ocean has warm and cold currents. People should go to the beach and enjoy it on a warm summer day, but beware of the sharks.

The oceans are connected to the water cycle because because oceans have water and so does the water cycle. Water vapor is solid water so maybe it floats in the oceans and scares away the sharks so they don't eat people that are swimming .

What do evaporation and transpiration have in common?

They are both processes that release water vapor into the atmosphere.

They are both titles to movies coming out in 2020.

They are both processes that release chemicals into the water.

They are both video games that Steve likes to play.

On a sunny day, why is the sand on a beach warmer than the water right next to it? Select 2 choices.

Sand and water have different specific heat capacities.

Water heats up more slowly than sand does.

Sand and water have the same specific heat capacities.

Water heats up quick than sand.

Name the stages in the water cycle.

Look at the 2 cups. One cup represents the ocean and contains water. the other cup represents land and contains soil. both cups were left in direct sunlight for the same amount of time. which cup contains soil and represents land? How do you know? Select 2 choices

Since cup A is warmer it contains soil and represents land, since land heats up faster than water.

The thermometers indicate that the material in cup A is warmer than the material in cup B.

The thermometers are the same, so it doesn't matter which one I choose.

Land and water heat up the same, so there is no difference.

Marcus covered half of the leaves of a plant with a clear plastic bag. He used string to secure the opening of the bag around the base of the plant and placed the plant in direct sunlight. What might Marcus expect to observe after 2 hours. Choose 2 answers.

Plants release water vapor through their leaves in transpiration.

Some of the water will condense on the inside of the bag.

Nothing will happen, so Marcus is wasting his time.

Some of the water will condense on the outside of the glass.

It is a hot summer day with no wind. The relative humidity is 50%. As the Sun goes down, how would you expect the relative humidity to change? Choose 2 answers.

The relative humidity will rise.

As the air becomes cooler the amount of water vapor it can hold decreases causing the humidity to go up.

The relative humidity will decrease.

Suppose the polar ice caps were to melt. What effects would this have on ocean waters? Choose 2 answers.

Since the ice caps melted there will be less salt in the ocean water and that will affect the currents and climate.

Huge amounts of fresh water will be added to the oceans from the ice caps melting.

Most alt would be added to the oceans.

People would never drown because more salt in the watr would make you float a lot easier.

A friend says that much of California has a more moderate climate than inland states because California is close to the Pacific Ocean. Do you agree or not? Explain your response. choose 2 answers.

The Pacific ocean cools nearby lands in summer and warms them in winter, making the weather more moderate along the coast than inland states.
