The Water Cycle and the Ocean

The video explains the water cycle's crucial role on Earth, detailing its main components: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It describes how water evaporates, leaving salt behind, and forms clouds through condensation. Precipitation occurs when clouds are saturated, falling over land or back into oceans. The cycle connects global water bodies, affecting areas like deserts and drought-prone regions. Earth's oceans, covering 70% of its surface, are vital to this cycle, ensuring water is continuously reused.
