This type of water is called surface runoff. It occurs when rainwater or snowmelt flows over the ground surface, unable to penetrate into the soil or evaporate. Surface runoff can accumulate in rivers, lakes, and oceans or contribute to flooding in urban areas.
Oceans
Height above earths surface is called elevation
Water on Earth evaporates due to the energy from the sun. When the sun's radiation reaches Earth's surface, it heats up water bodies, causing the water molecules to gain enough energy to break free of the liquid state and turn into water vapor.
Solar energy causes water on Earth's surface to evaporate and form water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. This process is known as evaporation and is a key part of the water cycle, where water is continuously circulated between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere.
The Earth's surface layer is called the crust.
first it has to evaporate off the earths surface and go to the clouds.
It doesnt effect the earths surface, it affects the the earth surface by expanding cracks in the ground.
Virga
The sun affects the weather on earth because the suns heat makes water evaporate from earths surface.
The sun
Coriolis effect
water condenses and when there is enough water vapor is condensed it rains so it may transpire or evaporate once more

70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
No the crust covers earths surface
to draw the earths surface.
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
