Water Cycle

The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, is the continuous process by which water circulates through the Earth's hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere. It involves the evaporation of water from bodies of water and land surfaces, the condensation of water vapor into clouds, precipitation in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail, and the runoff of water into rivers, lakes, and oceans. The water cycle plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's climate and sustaining life on the planet.
