What is the Water Cycle? The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle or the hydrological cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. During this process, water changes its state from one phase to another, but the total number of water particles remains the same.
There are three states of water namely solid (ice), liquid, and vapour. The water cycle, which is also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle, refers to the endless movement of water below, on, or above the earth’s surface.
The water cycle is the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states. Liquid water is found in oceans, rivers, lakes—and even underground. Solid ice is found in glaciers , snow, and at the North and South Poles .
