The Water Cycle Explained: How Earth’s Water Circulates Naturally #1805520 (License: Personal Use)

This circular diagram illustrates the continuous movement of water on Earth: solar energy drives evaporation from oceans and lakes, water vapor condenses into clouds, precipitation falls over land and sea, and runoff returns water to bodies of water. Key elements include mountains (showing snowmelt), trees (transpiration), and arrows indicating directional flow. The visual emphasizes the interconnectedness of atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic systems.

Used in educational websites, science curricula, and environmental awareness pages to explain hydrological processes; targets students, teachers, and general audiences seeking foundational earth science knowledge.
