The Water Cycle
The water evaporates from the surfaces of the earth, rises into the atmosphere as water vapor, condenses into rain clouds, and precipitates to the surface of Earth again. The water that falls back onto Earth usually gathers in pond, streams, bays, trickles between porous rocks, and most of it goes back into the oceans, where the cycle will restart. In Hawaiʻi, we rely on filtered groundwater because on the islands there is porous rocks that filter the water.
