Question

Oceans are the prime source of humidity in the atmosphere.

Solution

Oceans are great sites of evaporation, which, in turn, leads to condensation. This repeated cycle of evaporation and condensation increases the amount of water vapour in the air and thus acts as the main source of precipitation in the atmosphere. That is why oceans are regarded as the prime source of humidity in the atmosphere.
