What is the hydrologic cycle?
The hydrologic cycle is the continuous passage of water through the atmosphere and surface of the Earth.
Infiltration is the process of water soaking into the ground; runoff is the movement of water over land to rivers, lakes, or oceans; and evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor and rising into the atmosphere. Precipitation is the return of water to the surface as rain, snow, or hail.
This cycle is necessary to recycle groundwater supplies, maintain ecosystems, and maintain surface water levels. Additionally, it helps regulate the planet's climate by dispersing heat and moisture.
