Hydrological Cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water continuously between the atmosphere and the earth’s surface (lithosphere) and known as the hydrological cycle<\/a>. The energy for energy for driving the\u00a0 cycle and thus ensuring a constant supply of fresh-water on land comes from sun. Solar heat evaporates water from the ocean which is the great reservoir of water. A lesser amount of water is also evaporated from the surface of the land and from plants, a process known as evapotranspiration.<\/p>\n

All these vaporized water forms clouds which moved by winds, may pass over land where they are called enough to precipitated water soaks into grounds, some runs off the surface into streams and goes directly back to the sea. The ground water is returned\u00a0 to the surface by springs, by pumps from roots to leaves. Water inevitably ends up back in the sea, but it may become incorporated into the bodies of several different organisms one after another.<\/p>\n

Water of oceans, atmosphere and lands moves in a great series of continuous interchanges of both geographic position and physical state. A particular molecule of water might, if we could trace it continuously, travel through any one of a number of possible circuits involving alternatively the water vapor state and the liquid or solid state.<\/p>\n
