The Water Cycle

The water cycle is a cycle of process by which water circulates between the earth's oceans,atmosphere, and land involving precipitation as rain, snow, etc. What is the water cycle made up of ? There are six important processes that make up the water cycle these are, surface runoff, infiltration, evaporation, condensation, precipitation and transpiration. How do these changes happen?
Well water is constantly being cycled between the atmosphere, the ocean and land. This cycling is a very important process that helps sustain life on earth. As the water evaporates,vapors will rise and condense into clouds. Then the clouds start to move over the land, and precipitation falls in the form of rain, ice or snow. The water then falls into streams and rivers, eventually flows back into the oceans where evaporation flows. Dr. Fancy pants.
