The water cycle describes how water is distributed and circulates between the Earth's atmosphere, land and oceans. Water evaporates from the surface and is carried into the atmosphere in vapor form, condenses to form clouds and precipitates as rain or snow back to the Earth's surface, providing moisture to sustain life. The water then either flows back into the oceans or is absorbed by the land, from where it will evaporate again due to heat from the sun and continue the cycle.
