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 the Earth.
Since the hydrologic cycle has no beginning or end (hence the term cycle), you can jump in at any stage. A good place to start is at the oceans, where most of earthâs water is stored. This figure illustrates the major steps of the hydrologic cycle. Water in the oceans moves to the atmosphere through evaporation, a process that changes the liquid water to vapor, or gas. After the water vapor is in the atmosphere, processes of atmospheric circulation transport it around the globe.
