Global Hydrological Cycle

I came across this good diagram of the water cycle today on the USGS website. When we were studying this in class recently, we were discussing all the various processes which transfer water in its many forms from one form of storage to another. The processes are listed and well explained here . An even fuller description of both transfer and storage is here.


The USGS website has a variety of other resources relating to the water cycle. You can, for example, follow the journey of a single drop of water . Or if a place mat on your desk would help, you could always try this ..... A print friendly version is available if you click on the image!
