Do water particles travel?

Asked by rebbel (35549points) July 26th, 2011

When I, like today, am watching the waves roll in and out on/off the shore, sometimes this strange question arises: A water particle (or droplet or molecule or whatever it is called) that just came to shore, does it ‘stay around’ that location or does it get taken away again, to hundred miles back in the ocean, only to start its journey to shore again?
Or does that water particle that was in Greece today end up in Florida one day (or some place else of course)?
