Yes. It is because of gravity that water seeks it's own level. That is why when it rains the rain flows to the lowest spot and most of it drains into the seas and oceans. Just as gravity makes dirt that has been thrown into the air settle back to the ground it makes water flow down the beach back into the sea.

How does most water return to the ocean?
Most water returns to the ocean through the water cycle, where water evaporates from bodies of water, condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds, and then falls back to the Earth as precipitation. This water eventually flows back to the oceans through rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Can ocean water evaporate?
Yes, ocean water can evaporate. When the sun heats the surface of the ocean, water molecules become energized and turn into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. This process is known as evaporation.
What is 97 percent of the water on earth?
Approximately 97% of the water on Earth is salty ocean water.
Where does the water from the ocean come from?
The water in the ocean comes from various sources, including rivers, precipitation, and groundwater seepage. The water cycle plays a critical role in replenishing the ocean with freshwater from these sources. Evaporation from the ocean's surface is also a major contributor to the water cycle that sustains the water in the ocean.
What is the deepest and densest layer of water in the ocean?
A basic answer is that the densest ocean water is the saltiest - a ship floats higher in salt water (sea) than in fresh water (lake). Also cold water tends to sink towards the ocean floor, or may form a layer mid way.
Once rain has fallen how does water return to the ocean?
Once rain has fallen, water often returns to the ocean from collection in rivers and lakes. Sometimes water falls directly into the ocean as rain.
Clouds form when water vapor in the air?
movement of water ocean to cloud and return from cloud to ocean.
What is overwash?
Overwash is the flow of water and sediment over the crest of the beach that does not directly return to the water body (such as ocean, sea, bay or lake; hereafter, ocean) where it originated after water level fluctuations return to normal. There are two kinds of overwash: overwash by runup and overwash by inundation.
Deep ocean currents return warm water from the poles to the euator.true or false?
False. That statement is just backwards.
What fish returns from the ocean to the fresh waters where it was born?
Salmon are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean and then return to the fresh water to spawn. Salmon have the reputation of returning to the same place they were born in order to spawn.
How does most water return to the ocean?

What inviremont do eels live in?
The environment that eels live in is the water. Some types of eels live in the ocean while other types live in freshwater. Many spend their lives in fresh water but return to the ocean to breed.
What is reason for rivers flowing north?
The direction of flow is determined by the fastest or easiest path downwards, as water seeks to return to the ocean to complete the water cycle.
Why do sea turtles return to coastal water after 35 years in the open ocean?
so the female sea turtles can lay there nest
How does water return to the ocean from the land?
rain falls and flows down hill to sea level or into a river which then carries it out to sea
How did the water get in to the ocean?
The water got in the ocean by the volcano's exploding and the vapor got in the ocean and that created the ocean water.
Where is the coldest water in the ocean?
The coldest water in the ocean is the bottom of the ocean.
