hydrologic cycle
Water on Earth moves through the four spheres (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) through processes such as evaporation, precipitation, infiltration, and runoff. This water cycle facilitates the movement of water between the spheres, contributing to Earth's overall hydrological balance.
Approximately 0.3% of the earth's hydrosphere is available for human use as freshwater. The rest is saltwater found in oceans and seas.
The movement of water through Earth's materials is known as infiltration, percolation, and groundwater flow. When water enters the soil and moves downward, it is referred to as infiltration. Percolation describes the movement of water through the soil and rocks below the surface. Groundwater flow occurs when water moves through underground aquifers, following the gradient towards lower elevations.
Rivers, lakes, and oceans are all components of the Earth's hydrosphere, which includes all the water on or near the Earth's surface.
The biosphere is the global ecosystem on Earth where all living organisms, from microscopic bacteria to plants and animals, coexist. It encompasses the lithosphere (solid earth), hydrosphere (water bodies), and atmosphere (air), creating a complex web of life and interactions.
