Document Summary
Over the ocean has majority of the waters, most of the hydrological action is over the water. 419 evaporation and 382 precipitation over water so its just staying over the water mostly. Wind pushes cloud to over the land and eventually rains. Some of land precipitation comes from ocean other is from evapotranspiration. Transpiration comes from plants releasing water from photosynthesis. 69 plus 37 = 106 which is the precipitation on land. Precipitation some just runs off a stream or creek down back to the ocean. Overland flow is where the water is simply going down the land not exactly a stream or river. Soil is porous so it can take water and rainfall will penetrate and infiltrate then that will go to lakes rivers soils and even oceans. Rain and vegetation interaction first is that. 1) trees can intercept the tree and tree will retrain and that can be up to 50% of the rain.
