Use Figure 8.1 as a reference to complete the following: 1. Globally, from which source does more water evaporate into the atmosphere: oceans or land? 2. Approximately what percentage of the total water evaporated into the atmosphere comes from the oceans?Percentage from oceans = Ocean evaporation/Total evaporation × 100% = _____ % 3. Notice in Figure 8.1 that more water evaporates from the oceans than is returned directly by precipitation. If sea level is not dropping, identify a source of water for the oceans in addition to precipitation. 4. Worldwide, about how much of the precipitation that falls on the land becomes runoff: 35, 55, or 75 percent?  5.
