Water Words
 
Hydrologic Cycle 
 
 Water is in constant motion. The movement and endless recycling of water between the atmosphere, the land surface, and underground is called the hydrologic cycle. This movement, driven by the energy of the sun and the force of gravity, supplies the water needed to support life. Understanding the hydrologic cycle is basic to understanding all water and is a key to the proper management of water resources.
