What would happen if less water evaporated from the oceans?

• Ocean levels would increase and there would be more precipitation.

• Ocean levels would decrease and there would be more precipitation.

• Ocean levels would increase and there would be less precipitation.

How are the oceans connected to other bodies of water?

• Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as precipitation.

• Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as evaporation.

• Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as condensation.

• Water evaporates from the oceans and enters the other bodies as groundwater.

How does water from the ocean become different forms of precipitation?

• Water evaporates; precipitation falls; the sun warms the ocean water; clouds form

• Clouds are formed through condensation, the sun warms the ocean water; precipitation falls; water evaportates

• Precipitation falls to the ground; clouds form;the sun evaporates water from the ocean

• The sun warms the ocean; water evaporates and then condenses into clouds; precipitation falls to the ground.
