The water cycle, or hydrologic cycle, is a vital process that circulates water across the Earth's atmosphere, land, and water bodies. It involves evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff, playing a key role in climate dynamics, natural water purification, and the distribution of resources. This cycle shapes our planet's geology and ecosystems, supporting life by maintaining water balance and biodiversity.

The continuous process of water circulation on Earth through various reservoirs
Evaporation
The transformation of liquid water into water vapor through the sun's energy
Condensation
The conversion of water vapor into liquid droplets, forming clouds
Precipitation
The release of water droplets from clouds in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail
The maintenance of a balance in Earth's water distribution, essential for supporting life
The different processes involved in the movement of water within the environment
The conversion of liquid water into water vapor through the sun's energy and from plants
The release of water droplets from clouds and the seeping of water into the ground to replenish aquifers
