More water evaporates from the oceans than from lakes because...

• salt water evaporates more easily.

• oceans have more surface area.

• air over oceans can hold more water.

• ocean water heats up more quickly.

Energy is transferred from the sun to the hydrosphere during which process?

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Infiltration

How do the oceans affect Earth's weather?

• Wave energy pushes warm air over land.

• Evaporation from the oceans form clouds which produce rain on land.

• Salts in the ocean dries the air above the water.

• Cool ocean water cools the air to promote condensation.
