This process is called the water cycle where the water in the ocean is heated by the sun and evaporates forming clouds. When the clouds are full and cannot take any more water they begin to rain. This fills the oceans once more and the water cycle begin all over again.

The process in which water circulates from the oceans to the clouds to the land to the rivers and then accumulates back into the oceans?

This process is known as the water cycle or hydrological cycle. It involves the evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, and rivers, forming clouds. The clouds then release precipitation (rain or snow) over the land, which eventually flows into rivers and back to the oceans, completing the cycle.


What accumulates water into rivers and lakes?

creeks and streams.


What is the process that causes clouds to form?

Well, The water evaporates from seas and forms clouds. The water may evaporate from rivers, seas, ponds, etc.


What is the process by which water circulates from the ocean to the land masses known as?

This process is known as the water cycle. It involves evaporation of water from the oceans, condensation into clouds, precipitation onto land masses, and then runoff back into the oceans through rivers and streams. This continuous cycle helps distribute water across different regions of the Earth.


What are the 4 reservoirs of water in the water cycle?

The four main reservoirs of water in the water cycle are the oceans, atmosphere, land, and glaciers. Water evaporates from the surface of the oceans and forms clouds in the atmosphere. These clouds then release precipitation, which falls on the land and can be stored in lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Some of the water also accumulates in glaciers and ice caps.


Do rivers precipitate?

No, because rivers aren't condensed clouds or rain.... ಠ_ಠ


What is islands that form at the rivers mouth as the speed of the water current slows and sediment accumulates?

Delta


Why aren't there many clouds in the desert sky?

Because they are no rivers for the water to evaporate into clouds.


How does nature make clouds?

Water from lakes, rivers, ponds, oceans, etc... EVAPORATES The evaporation floats up into the sky The water condenses, creating clouds when there's enough water condensed, it will rain the rain makes its way into lakes, rivers, ponds, etc... then the process starts again


Are clouds made of large quantities of liqud water droplets?

yes they are, rivers of it....called sky rivers


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.


What is the steps of the water cycle?

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.
