Answer: When water molecules are heated up, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surronding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds. hope this helps<3
