What is the Water Cycle?
The continuous movement of water on, above, and below Earth’s surface.
Main Processes:
Evaporation – Water changes from liquid to vapor.
Condensation – Water vapor cools and forms clouds.
Precipitation – Water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Collection/Runoff – Water gathers in rivers, lakes, oceans, and underground.
