The Water Cycle
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The water cycle moves water between atmosphere, land, and ocean through evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and precipitation, transporting the dissolved nutrients other cycles depend on.
Show
Transpiration from forest vegetation returns water vapor to the atmosphere, feeding downwind precipitation.
Watch for
The water cycle moves water, not nutrients directly — nutrients move as a secondary effect of water's movement through soil and runoff.
