Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Since the oceans contain about 97 percent of Earth's surface water, they make the biggest contribution to evaporation. Most of that water rains back into the oceans -- only about 10 percent of it falls on the land. But that's still a huge amount of water. Of course, the rain doesn't come down evenly.
More than half of the world's rain fall over the ocean for two reasons: One, it's so large, and two, the water cycle runs faster because the biome is made of water. The average yearly precipitation can add up to over 100 inches.
When it rains, the runoff that is collected in a network of pipes ultimately ends up in the ocean where people swim.
The frequency of precipitation occurrence over the global oceans from 2006–2007 as calculated from CloudSat radar data is compared to ship‐based (ICOADS) and island‐based (GSOD) data.
