UTATA project: "Essential Truths About Water."

>>>Water sweeps across the sea, subject to the whims of the heat of the sun, the rotation of the earth, and to large rocks that affect its flow and form. ...<<<

Here and there it merges with mountains. It rises, compresses and cools, and much returns to Earth. It brings and sustains life. It seeps, sinks, saturates, and flows out below. It cuts and carves, creates chasms, leaves peaks and ridges, and rushes home, carrying with it the mountains, piece by piece, to the sea.

But most sweeps over and around, and continues wandering, having merely played a part in the various spectacular formations above and upon these spectacular obstacles - these mighty but patient peaks that await their fate - a fate dictated primarily by ... water.
