Water continuously moves above the

surface of Earth through the water cycle.

As water vapor rises, it cools to form water

droplets. What forms when billions of

these water droplets are close together? (pg 348)

Oceans receive fresh water from

precipitation and rivers. Yet the sea levels

of oceans do not change very much from

these actions. Why are the sea levels

affected so little?

**think about what happens to water when it is heated by the sun**

• Water seeps underground beneath the

  oceans.

• Water evaporates over the surface of

  the oceans.

• Water flows back into rivers from the

  oceans.

• Water is deposited back on land

  through ocean wave action.
