Answer :

Movement of water through environment is called as WATER CYCLE or HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE

Movement of water through the environment is known as Water Cycle or Hydrological Cycle.

What is Water Cycle or Hydrological Cycle?

It is a biogeochemical cycle describing the continuous movement of water on, above or below the surface of the Earth.

The water moves from one reservoir to another such as rivers to ocean, or from the ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere through the process of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff and subsurface flow.

The Water Cycle involves exchange of energy  leading to temperature change. Evaporation of water results into taking up of energy from its surroundings and cools the environment which results into influencing the climate.

Evaporation purifies the water cycle and replenishes the land with freshwater and also involves in reshaping the geological feature of the earth through Erosion and Sedimentation.

The water cycle is also essential for the maintenance of most life and ecosystem on the planet.

The evaporative phase of water cycle purifies water which replenishes the land with freshwater. The flow of liquid water and ice transports minerals across the globe. It also involves in reshaping the geological features of the Earth through erosion and sedimentation.

The water cycle is also essential for the maintenance of most life and ecosystem on the planet.

What is meant by the Environment?

The natural environment encompasses all living and non living things occurring naturally .

It encompasses the interaction of all living species, climate, weather and natural resources affecting human survival and economic activity.

The sun is the major source to initiate Water Cycle by heating ocean, sea. Water evaporates into air and ice and snow sublimes into vapor directly.

Evapotranspiration is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil.

Atmospheric Circulation moves water vapor round the globe and cloud collides, grow and fall in the upper atmosphere layers as precipitation. Some falls as snow, hail, sleet and can accumulate in ice caps and glaciers which can frozen water for thousand years.
