The water cycle is a way that water moves all around the Earth. It
never stops, it does not have a beginning or an end. It's like a big circle! The
water cycle describes how water is exchanged (cycled) through Earth’s land,
ocean, and atmosphere. Water always exists in all three phases, and in
many forms- as lakes and rivers, glaciers and ice sheets, ocean and seas,
underground aquifers, and vapor in the air and clouds.
