Water (Hydrologic) Cycle

3D Model

The water (hydrologic) cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth’s surface. It involves processes such as evaporation (water turning into vapor), condensation (vapor forming clouds), precipitation (rain, snow, etc.), and collection (water gathering in bodies like rivers, lakes, and oceans). This cycle is essential for distributing water, supporting life, and regulating climate.
