Generation

The hydrologic cycle describes the continuous movement of water through Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans via evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Water evaporates from surfaces (primarily oceans) into the atmosphere, condenses into clouds, falls as precipitation, and returns to water bodies through runoff and groundwater flow. A key formula is the **water balance equation: P = ET + R + ΔS**, where P is precipitation, ET is evapotranspiration, R is runoff, and ΔS is the change in water storage. This cycle is driven by solar energy and gravity, making it fundamental to weather patterns and climate.
