Give any two reasons how oceans forms the major part of the hydrosphere.
Answers
Answer:
Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface, making them the biggest part of the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is simply the total of all the water in Earth's atmosphere. A hydrosphere is the total amount of water on a planet. ... Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of rain or snow
Answer: The hydrosphere refers to the water bodies that are found on the earth's surface. More than 71% of the earth is covered with water. This water is found in all its forms - ice, water and water vapour. Running water in oceans and rivers and in lakes, ice in glaciers, underground water and the water vapour in atmosphere. More than 97% of the earth's water is found in oceans. The ocean water is very salty, hence not of human utility. A large proportion of the rest of the water is in the form of icesheets and glaciers or under the ground. A very small percentage is available as fresh water. It is this water that we use.
