What is the water cycle? - The cycle operates in a variety of spacial scales where physical processes control the circulation of water between stores on land, oceans, the cryosphere and the atmosphere. It works as a closed system with inputs (rainwater), outputs, stores and gravitational potential energy. It begins with evaporation where water vapour from the ocean is lifted and condensed in the atmosphere to form clouds. Moisture is then transported around the globe and returns to the sur...
