The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of wateron, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.

The water cycle involves the exchange of energy, which leads to temperature changes. When water evaporates, it takes up energy from its surroundings and cools the environment. When it condenses, it releases energy and warms the environment. These heat exchanges influence climate.

The evaporative phase of the cycle purifies water which then replenishes the land with freshwater. The flow of liquid water and ice transports minerals across the globe. It is also involved in reshaping the geological features of the Earth, through processes including erosion and sedimentation. The water cycle is also essential for the maintenance of most life and ecosystems on the planet.

Water cycle is of two types-global and biological.

Water cycle is of two types-global and biological.Global water cycle does not involve living organisms and involves the interchange of water between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere via the processes of evaporation and precipitation. Ocean is the biggest store house of water. Evaporation involves the conversion of liquid and solid forms ofwater into vapour and later formation of clouds. Precipitation involves the rainfall, hail, snow, etc. Energy for the global water cycle is provided by sunlight, Biological water cycle is the interchange of water between abiotic and biotic components of the environment. For example, plants absorb water from water bodies and soil and lose most of this water by the process of transpiration. Animals consume water from water bodies or from the food
