Explanation

The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle or the H2O cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of Earth. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean or from ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff and subsurface flow.
