The clouds are formed by water vapor evaporating from the ocean. The water vapor condenses and falls again as rain (or snow) thereby completing the water cycle.

How are ocean swells different from whitecaps?
Swells happen in deeper water. White caps form when it hits shallow water and the waves start to fall over each other.
How does the ocean affect the weather?
The weather affects the ocean in various ways. When the climate is hot, the ocean will raise hot air into the atmosphere and therefore the impact of the weather on the ocean is directly proportional.
How are glaciers related to the water cycle?
Since glaciers are masses of ice and snow built up over thousands of years. Glaciers at one point begin to melt, evaporation creates clouds, eventually, so much water (from evaporation) gathers in the clouds that the air currents cannot keep it aloft. It falls to earth as precipitation: in the form of snow. More snow is then added to the glacier, the glacier melts slowly, and the water cycle starts over.
What does water vapor form when it condences?
water vapor forms a musk,dew,or left over water droplets
What is the process of the water cycle?
Well it is first like a puuddle.Then it is evaporated into the air. When the clouds gets to heavy ,the clouds let it come down. Then the process is starting all over again! +++ Except that "puddle" is primarily the sea so that is regarded as the base, or starting-point.
How do clouds and rain form over the US?
Great question everyone! Here is your answer: Clouds and rain form when water from the ocean evaporates leaving salinity. Then the water reaches the clouds and it gets stored there until eventually the cloud gets to heavy that all the water comes down. The water lands on land via ocean and the Water Cycle starts over again.
Do clouds form over water?
Not necessarily. Clouds form daily over both land and water.
What is the path of water from the ocean to a raindrop?
it's the water cycle. the water from the ocean's evaporate with the heat from the sun and go up as water-vapour. they from clouds. when the clouds pass over mountains or when the clouds become heavy, the water vapour condenses and comes down as rain.
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.
Hov do watercycles form?
it is formed when water goes up to the sun then the clouds then it rains and goes back to the ocean and starts all over aggain.
Why are clouds that form over water more efficient in producing precipitation rain than clouds that form over land?
Rainclouds form from water picked up from the earth's surface. If the clouds are over water, they obviously will pick up more moisture, and pick it up a lot easier, too.
What is the process in which water circulates from the ocean to the clouds to the clouds to the land to the rivers and then accumulates back into the ocean?
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. Hope i helped ;)
Do hurricanes form in the ocean?
Yes. Hurricanes form over warm ocean water.
How does water affect earth climate and weather patterns?
Yes, water does affect climate: One reason that Britain 'enjoys' a temperate, rather variable, wet climate is that the prevailing south-westerly wind passes over the Atlantic Ocean. The wind, with the warmth from the Sun, take up water vapour, form clouds, and blow the rain filled clouds over Britain.
Would you find more clouds over the ocean or the desert?
Clouds would usually be more common over an ocean.
Where do hurricanes not form?
Hurricanes do not form over land or over cold ocean water.
Where do hurricanes typically form over?
Hurricanes form over tropical ocean water.
