Describe the hydrologic cycle. What will be an ideal response?


Water is evaporated from the ocean, lakes, and streams and becomes water vapor in the atmosphere.
Then it precipitates and ends up back on land. On land, it may end up in glaciers, in the oceans, in
lakes or streams, or it may spend a long period of time underground as groundwater. Water also works
its way through plants by evaporation and through animals, where it is used for many processes
