Water leaves atmosphere as precipitation over land or ocean Evaporates from ocean surface, lakes, streams, etc. Water also seeps through soil to groundwater, which is in layers of rock called aquifers. Humans pump water out, can cause aquifer depletion. Glaciers keep water in ice out of circulation thousands of years. Global atmospheric circulation is driven by sun s differential warming.
Hot air rises at equator, moves away, cools and sinks.
Horizontal movements are winds Coriolis effect is deflection of winds by Earth s rotation, deflected to right in Northern Hemisphere, left in Southern. Mother, Mother Ocean covers most of Earth surface Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, Pacific are interconnected. Warm water in East Pacific changes climate patterns globally. We get wet, Africa gets droughts.
