the ongoing transformation of water in the biosphere from ocean water evaporation to clouds, rain, groundwater and runoff, storage in organisms, etc. until its return to the oceans. The Earth holds roughly 326 cubic million miles of water, 97% of it in the oceans.

The process of evaporation, vertical and horizontal transport of vapor, condensation, precipitation, and the flow of water from continents to oceans. It is a major factor in determining climate through its influence on surface vegetation, the clouds, snow and ice, and soil moisture. The hydrologic cycle is responsible for 25 to 30 percent of the mi [..]

The movement of water from the atmosphere to the Earth and back. The three stages are precipitation, runoff or infiltration, and evaporation.

The transfer of water between numerous temporary storage reservoirs. These include the ocean, rivers and streams, glacial ice, beer cans, dogs and cats, groundwater, and the atmosphere.

The natural cycle of water passing through the environment, including evaporation, condensation, retention and run-off.

the cyclic transfer of water vapor from the Earth's surface via evapotranspiration into the atmosphere, from the atmosphere via precipitation back to earth, and through runoff into streams, rivers, and lakes, and ultimately into the oceans.

The cyclic movement of the Earth?s water supply from the oceans to the mountains and back again to the oceans. [ return to top

Often called the water cycle, it is the vertical and horizontal transport of water in all its states between the earth, the atmosphere, and the seas.

Also called the water cycle, this is the process of water evaporating, condensing, falling to the ground as precipitation, and returning to the ocean as run-off.

Movement or exchange of water between the atmosphere and earth.

The cycling of water from the atmosphere to the earth (precipitation) and back to the atmosphere (evaporation and plant transpiration).  Atmospheric moisture, clouds, rainfall, runoff, surface water, [..]

Movement or exchange of water between the atmosphere and earth.

The cyclical movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere by evaporation through rain to the earth's surface, through runoff and groundwater to streams, and back to the sea.

Circulation of Water among various Ecological Systems, in various states, on, above, and below the surface of the earth.

The process of evaporation, vertical and horizontal transport of vapor, condensation, precipitation, and the flow of water from continents to oceans. It is a major factor in determining climate throug [..]

The process of evaporation of water into the air and its return to earth by precipitation (rain or snow). This process also includes transpiration from plants, groundwater movement, and runoff into ri [..]

Water in its various manifestations as vapor evaporated from oceans, lakes, streams, and plants; rain and snow; snowpack or glacier; groundwater or surface runoff; and finally as streams and rivers re [..]

Model that describes the movement of water between the hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.

The water cycle, including precipitation of water from the atmosphere as rain or snow, flow of water over or through the earth, and evaporation or transpiration to water vapour in the atmosphere.

the exchange of water between the earth, the oceans, and the atmosphere. Also called the water cycle.

The constant movement of water above, on, and below the Earth's surface. Processes such as precipitation, evaporation, condensation, infiltration, and runoff comprise the cycle. Within the cycle, water changes forms in response to the Earth's climatic conditions.

The recycling of water on earth. There are five steps: Condensation occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere turns into a liquid and forms clouds. The clouds release precipitation in the form of rain [..]

The description of the transport of water substance between the earth, the atmosphere, and the seas. or In hydrologic terms, the natural pathway water follows as it changes between liquid, solid, and gaseous states.

natural pathway water follows as it changes between liquid, solid, and gaseous states; biogeochemical cycle that moves and recycles water in various forms through the ecosphere. Also called the water [..]

the cycle of the earth's water supply from the atmosphere to the earth and back which includes precipitation, transpiration, evaporation, runoff, infiltration, and storage in water bodies and groundwater.
