    The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water evaporates from the Earth's surface into the atmosphere, where it condenses to form clouds and falls back to the Earth as precipitation such as rain or snow. Most of the Earth's water is salt water in oceans, while fresh water is found in rivers, lakes, ice caps, groundwater, and the atmosphere.
