Hydrologic Cycle (Water Cycle): The cycle of water movement from the atmosphere to the earth and back to the atmosphere through condensation, precipitation, evaporation, and transpiration.
Hydrologic cycle: The constant circulation of water from the sea, through the atmosphere, to the land, and back to the sea by over-land, underground, and atmospheric routes.
HYDROLOGIC CYCLE: The movement of water as it evaporates from rivers, lakes or oceans, returns to the earth as precipitation, flows into rivers and evaporates again.
Hydrologic cycle: (also known as the water cycle) The paths water takes through its various states--vapor, liquid, solid--as it moves throughout the oceans, atmosphere, groundwater, streams, etc.
Hydrologic cycle. The process by which water constantly circulates from the ocean, to the atmosphere, falling to the earth in some form of precipitation, and finally returning to the ocean.

Hydrologic Cycle - The recycling of water on earth. There are five steps: Condensation occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere turns into a liquid and forms clouds.
Hydrologic Cycle: the movement of water in and on the earth and atmosphere through processes such as precipitation, evaporation, runoff, and infiltration.
hydrologic cycle
The conditions through which water naturally passes from the time of precipitation until it is returned to the atmosphere by evaporation and is again ready to be precipitated.

Hydrologic cycle: The cycle that water through its natural process of evaporation and precipitation: from the sea, through the atmosphere, to the land and back to the sea.
Hydrologic Cycle: Movement or exchange of water between the atmosphere and earth.
Hydrology: The science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water.
hydrologic cycle
natural pathway water follows as it changes between liquid, solid, and gaseous states; biogeochemical cycle that moves and recycles water in various forms through the ecosphere. Also called the water cycle.

Hydrologic cycle
The natural cycle of water passing through the environment, including evaporation, condensation, retention and run-off.
Hydrophilic ...
hydrologic cycle The endless circulation of water between the ocean, atmosphere (by evaporation), land (by precipitation), and back to the ocean (by stream and subsurface flow).
Hydrologic Cycle
Often called the water cycle, it is the vertical and horizontal transport of water in all its states between the earth, the atmosphere, and the seas.
Infiltration ...
Hydrologic Cycle (Water Cycle): Water in its various manifestations as vapor evaporated from oceans, lakes, streams, and plants; rain and snow; snowpack or glacier; groundwater or surface runoff; and finally as streams and rivers returning to the sea.
Hydrologic cycle - (1) The cycling of water from the atmosphere, onto and through the landscape and eventually back into the atmosphere.
hydrologic cycle The process of evaporation, vertical and horizontal transport of vapor, condensation, precipitation, and the flow of water from continents to oceans.
hydrologic cycle The cyclical movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere by evaporation through rain to the earth's surface, through runoff and groundwater to streams, and back to the sea.
hydrologic cycle The natural process by which water cycles from the atmosphere to the earth (via precipitation), and back to the atmosphere again (via evaporation and other processes).
water cycle : The process, also known as the hydrologic cycle, in which water travels in a sequence from the air through condensation to the earth as precipitation and back to the atmosphere by evaporation.
The total amount of water in the earth does not change. It does however, change itself in form - from solid ice, liquid or gas vapor - to replenish water resources in the course of the water cycle, also known as hydrologic cycle.
