Question

Why are oceans important in the water cycle?

Answer 1

First we need to know how oceans form.

So how do they form?

In the beginning, there was a huge cloud of dust and rocks in the Universe. Gravity caused the cloud to shrink and gradually the Sun and the planets formed.

The original dust and rocks included minerals that had water in them. The Earth, as it formed, became very hot. It melted and there were lots of volcanoes. The water in the rocks formed steam and came out of the volcanoes as giant clouds that cooled and rained. That is where some of the water came from.

So now let's move onto your question

Oceans are very important for all living things. Without oceans few species would go extinct!

Hope this helps you!
