Yes, approximately 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water. This includes oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes. The vast majority of this water is found in the oceans, which play a crucial role in the planet's climate and ecosystems.
The amount of water on Earth is finite - most of it is held in the oceans. For a flood to occur, it has to rain; for it to rain, the water in the oceans has to evaporate to form clouds. Floods can occur in limited regions when the rainfall is much greater than normal, but the water soon runs off, back into the ocean. Of course, it would not be possible for a flood to cover the entire earth, both because there is not enough water and because the floodwaters would run back into the oceans so quickly.
About 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, which translates to approximately 7.1 tenths. This includes oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers, with the vast majority being saltwater in the oceans. The remaining 29% of the surface is land.
1. It is water 2. There are living creatures in the water 3. it can turn to steam 4. it can turn to ice 5. we need water or we wouldn't survive
the Earth's early history when water vapor was released from volcanic activity and comets colliding with the planet. This water then accumulated in the Earth's crust and eventually formed the oceans through various geological processes.
80 percent evaporates from the ocean. Incorrect !!! All water in the water cycle of Earth evaporates from oceans and works its way back to the ocean. Evaporation from rivers, lakes, ponds etc. is a temporary stage of the overall trip back to its origin in the oceans.
probably enough to fill 88 oceans plus the stuff in my tummy
The volatility of the oceans...

The prevailing theory of the origin of life on earth posits that it began in the oceans.
Oceans have salt water.
In general a body of water with the word "sea" in its name probably contains salt water, but it's not an ironclad guarantee. For example, the Sea of Galilee is fresh water.
cause we have water without the oceans we will not have water
Under-GROUND oceans? Probably not; the current estimates for Europa indicate that the surface is probably ice, with perhaps oceans beneath the ice. If the oceans are made of water rather than some more exotic liquid, then there's at least a possibility that life might exist in that ocean.
No: All of the oceans are a collective body of water.
