The continuous circulation of water from the atmosphere to the earth, including the ocean, and back to the atmosphere through condensation, precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration
The circuit of water movement from the oceans to the atmosphere, to the Earth and back to the sea Water moves through the cycle via processes such as precipitation, interception, runoff, infiltration, percolation, storage, evaporation and transportation
The cycle of evaporation and condensation that controls the distribution of the earth's water as it evaporates from bodies of water, condenses, precipitates, and returns to those bodies of water. Also called hydrologic cycle
The constant cycle by which water moves through the Earths environment, converting from liquid to gas vapor to liquid again through the processes of condensation and evaporation (e g , water evaporates from the ocean into the air, then condenses to rain and falls back to the earth, where it runs off into the ocean again)
The process by which water travels in a sequence from the air (condensation) to the earth (precipitation) and returns to the atmosphere (evaporation) It is also referred to as the hydrologic cycle
The name to describe the way water is recycled in nature Water falls as rain or snow and then flows into rivers or lakes and some into the oceans Water returns to the air through evaporation and falls again as precipitation Also known as the Hydrologic Cycle
the circuit of water movement from the oceans to the atmosphere and to the Earth and return to the atmosphere through various stages or processes such as precipitation, interception, runoff, infiltration, percolation, storage, evaporation, and transportation
Also known as the hydrologic cycle, it is the continual flow of water from the ocean to the atmosphere to the land and, after several delays, back to the ocean again
the continuous circulation of surface waters to the atmosphere (evaporation and condensation), thence to the ground (precipitation), and thence back to surface and subsurface waters (by run-off and infiltration, respectively)
Also called the hydrologic cycle, it is the vertical and horizontal transport of water in all its states between the earth, the atmosphere, and the seas
