  • The water cycle, also called hydrologic cycle, cycle that involves the continuous circulation ofwater in the Earth-atmosphere system. Of the many processes involved in the water cycle, themost important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
  • Although the total amount of water within the cycle remains essentially constant, its distribution among the various processes is continually changing.

  • Evapotranspiration can be defined  as the sum of evaporation from the land surface plus transpiration from plants.
  •  Evaporation accounts for the movement of water to the air from sources    such as the soil, plants, and waterbodies.

  • Condensation is the process by which water vapour in the air is changed into liquid water..
  • The clouds may produce precipitation, which is the primary route for water to return to the Earth's surface within the water cycle. Condensation is the opposite of evaporation.

  • Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail.
  • When the cloud droplets combine to form heavier cloud drops which can no longer float in the surrounding air, it can start to rain, snow, and hail... all forms of precipitation.
  • It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth.

  • Infiltration is the process by which precipitation or water soaks into subsurface soils and moves into rocks through cracks and pore spaces. 
  • The bulk of rainwater and melted snow end up infiltrated.

  • Percolation is the movement of water through the soil itself.
  • As the water percolates into the deeper layers of the soil, it reaches groundwater, which is water below the surface.
  • The upper surface of this underground water is called the "water table".

  • Runoff is precipitation that did not get (infiltrated) absorbed into the soil or did not evaporate, and therefore, made its way from the ground surface into places that water collect. 
  • Runoff causes erosion, and also carry chemicals and substances on the ground surface along to the rivers where the water ends up
