Statement
Some rain collects in groundwells. The rest flows through rivers back to the ocean.
The water vapor cools and condenses to become droplets, which form clouds.
The sun heats the ocean.
If enough water condenses, the drops become heavy enough to fall to the ground as rain or snow.
Ocean water evaporates and rises into the air.
