The process where water from precipitation is collected in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Where it happens: In bodies of water or underground in the soil.

💡 Fun Facts

  • Some water soaks deep into the ground and is stored there as 'groundwater'.
  • This collected water can then evaporate again, starting the entire cycle over.
  • The same water has been moving around our planet in this cycle for billions of years. The water in your drink could have once been drunk by a dinosaur!
