Question
DRAW IT (a) Draw a simplified global water cycle showing
ocean, land, atmosphere, and runoff from the land to the
ocean. Label your drawing with these annual water fluxes:
ocean evaporation, 425 km3
ocean evaporation that returns to the ocean as precipitation,
385 km3
ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation on land, 40 km3
evapotranspiration from plants and soil that falls as precipitation on land, 70 km3
runoff to the oceans, 40 km3
(b) What is the ratio of ocean evaporation that falls as precipitation
on land compared with runoff from land to the oceans? (c) How
would this ratio change during an ice age, and why?
