The Hydrologic Cycle Model

Question 23

Multiple Choice

The hydrologic cycle model.Water travels endlessly through the hydrosphere,atmosphere,lithosphere,and biosphere.The triangles show global average values as percentages.Note that all evaporation (86% + 14% = 100%) equals all precipitation (78% + 22% = 100%) and that advection in the atmosphere is balanced by surface runoff,streamflow,and groundwater flow when all of Earth is considered. What percentage of precipitation occurs over oceans? A) 8 B) 14 C) 22 D) 78 E) 86 The hydrologic cycle model.Water travels endlessly through the hydrosphere,atmosphere,lithosphere,and biosphere.The triangles show global average values as percentages.Note that all evaporation (86% + 14% = 100%) equals all precipitation (78% + 22% = 100%) and that advection in the atmosphere is balanced by surface runoff,streamflow,and groundwater flow when all of Earth is considered.
