The Hydrologic Cycle

Perhaps you have heard of the “Water Cycle” before.  The water cycle is the natural cycle in which water evaporates from the surface of the earth into the air and then returns to Earth in the form of rain, sleet, snow or hail.  The water cycle is also called the “Hydrologic Cycle.”

As we study about weather in science class, we are learning that this cycle is extremely important to weather, along with temperature.  Below I have created an interactive picture that explains how the hydrologic cycle works.
