Evaporation
The process by which oceans contribute to cloud formation occurs through evaporation. The sun heats up the surface of the ocean, causing water molecules to break free and rise into the atmosphere as water vapor. As the water vapor ascends, it cools and condenses into tiny water droplets, forming clouds.

Water enters the atmosphere from the ocean through a process called evaporation, where heat energy from the sun causes water molecules at the ocean's surface to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
The energy that causes seawater to form water vapor is heat from the sun. When the sun's energy heats up the surface of the ocean, it causes water molecules to evaporate and rise as water vapor.
The Moon's gravitational pull on our planet causes the ebb and flow, (rise and fall), of our earth's oceans.

Step 1: The sun's heat evaporates the water in the ocean. Step 2: The water vapors rise up in the atmosphere and cools to form large droplets of water but not large enough to descend into the earth's surface. Step 3: The water vapors forms clouds which travel into a land. Step 4: The clouds hit a mountain and is compelled to rise up even further thus forming larger droplets of water. Step 5:The larger droplets of water fall into the mountains and valleys as rain or snow. Step 6: This snow accumulates in the mountain peak as glaciers and are the source of most rivers or the water accumulates in lakes which are the source of some rivers. Step 7: The water in the rivers finds its way into the ocean and the cycle is repeated again.
A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by a large displacement of water, usually from undersea earthquakes or landslides. As the waves move through the ocean towards land, they push a large amount of water along with them, causing the water level to rise significantly when they reach the shoreline.
