The Water Cycle: Understanding Earth's Water Journey

Water is constantly moving through the environment in a process called the water cycle. This cycle involves several steps: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. It is a continuous process that helps recycle water on Earth. Let's learn more about each step and how water travels from one place to another!
