How does water from clouds get back to the sea?

Water from clouds returns to the sea by falling as precipitation onto Earth's surface, such as rain or snow. This water then flows into rivers, streams, and eventually reaches the oceans through the water cycle.


How does the salt water clouds work?

Salt water clouds form due to the presence of sea salt particles in the atmosphere. When ocean water evaporates, it releases sea salt particles that can act as cloud condensation nuclei, providing a surface for water vapor to condense into droplets. These salt water clouds can impact precipitation patterns and cloud properties.


Why do clouds form above the ocean and not at night?

Clouds can form from sea water evaporation during night or day. Basically it depends on wind strength and air temperature.


When water is heated in the atmosphere what does it do?

If you're talking about the basic water cycle, starting in the ocean, water evaporates into vapor (Evaporation) rising up until it reaches it's the dew point, then the water condenses and travel towards higher ground, sometimes it travels as far as sea level ground (Condensation), when it reaches that heavy point where the clouds is too heavy to carry the water it drops taking about 10-15 minutes from the clouds to reaches the surface of the Earth if clouds are in the strato zone (Precipitation).


How far down to sea can clouds go?

a cloud can be close to the surface of the water (or land). When a cloud is close to or at the surface of the water (or land) , it is called fog.

Why isn't ocean water absorbed?

Absorbed by what? As part of the water cycle, sea water is evaporated by the Sun and wind. The water vapour rises to form rain clouds. The clouds drop rain on the land (and the sea, of course), forming streams, rivers, and topping up ground water. Rivers carry the water back to the sea, and the water cycle continues.


What does water do from the sea to make clouds?

the water from the sea evaporates to the sky. when it goes higher up, it condenses to form water doplets. it would then gather together to make clouds.


How do clouds absorb water from the sea?

The sun evaporates water from the Earth and it turns into water vapour. Water vapour rises up into the sky and forms clouds. When the clouds get heavy (means a lot of evaporation), water falls form the sky as rain. The water comes from the clouds. (clouds are not gases. They are solids)


Do wind drive the water cycle?

Yes. Wind moves the clouds which form over the ocean from the water, it moves them on the land and forwards until the clouds meet high enough mountains that they block the clouds way. Then the clouds rain down to the slopes of the mountain and the water forms rivers which flow back to the sea.


What does water in the sea turn into when its evaporated?

It turns into clouds


What is the info of the water cycle?

A simplified version of the water cycle is: Water is evaporated by sun and wind from the ocean. The evaporated water forms a vapour that creates the clouds. The clouds rain down on the land (and sea). The rain flows into streams, rivers, and back into the sea. Then the evaporation begins all over again - so continuing the water cycle.


How rainwater is mostly formed from sea water?

Because in the water cycle condensed water makes clouds and clouds of course produce rain. :)


When The water moves away from the clouds to the earth and back to the clouds again is called the?

The water cycle.


When does water cycle happen?

When clouds come along and suck water from the sea


How are the salts in the sea formed?

They are formed through the water cycle. The clouds accumulate water then the clouds dump the water (rain). The water that lands on the ground and picks up dirt and salt. The runoff water goes into the lakes, rivers, and oceans which is then sucked back up into the clouds. When the water is taken back up to the clouds, the salt is left behind because is too heavy. Also, when the runoff water accumulates on the ground, the water dries up and the salt is left behind which will be collected the next time it rains.


Do fresh waters cause a rise in sea level?

No. Fresh water is part of the water cycle. It rises from the sea into the clouds. It falls as rain or snow. It runs down mountains where we catch it, drink it, pass it, and it runs away back into the sea. No rise in sea levels.


Why is it always raining?

it is when the sun boils the water and it evaporates turning into clouds it then condensates falling down back as preecipatation (snow water) it falls back into the ocean river or sea its called the watercycle thats why
