The Ocean
We are going to start today’s trip in the ocean. The ocean is filled with tiny drops of water just like me. In fact, the ocean accounts for 71% of the earth’s surface! H2O in the ocean can come in the form of liquid water or ice from icecaps and icebergs. Some water stays in the ocean for a very long time while some water is recycled back into the water cycle, as we will soon see.
Interesting Fact:
"...current estimates indicate that 86% of global evaporation and 78% of global precipitation occurs over the oceans." -Raymond Schmitt
