hydrological cycle 2.0

• The hydrologic cycle begins with the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. 
•  Moisture is transported around the globe until it returns to the surface as precipitation. 
• the most important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
• By evaporation, water in the liquid state is transferred to the gaseous, or vapour, state. 
•  Transpiration is the evaporation of water through minute pores, or stomata, in the leaves of plants. 
• The transition process from the vapour state to the liquid state is called condensation.
•  By condensation, water vapour in the atmosphere is released to form precipitation.
• some may be intercepted by vegetation and then evaporated from the surface of leaves, some percolates into the soil by infiltration
• the remainder flows directly as surface runoff into the sea.
