The water cycle — technically known as the hydrological cycle — is the continuous circulation of water within the Earth's hydrosphere, and is driven by solar radiation. This includes the atmosphere, land, surface water and groundwater. As water moves through the cycle, it changes state between liquid, solid, and gas phases. Water moves from compartment to compartment, such as from river to ocean, by the physical processes of evaporation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and subsurface flow. Movement of water within the water cycle is the subject of the field of hydrology. The water cycle is the process that all water takes. It includes precipitation which is the falling of water in any form on Earth, infiltration which is the process in which water is absorbed into the soil (it may also flow off the surface called surface runoff) evaporation or transpiration which is either when water is heated and turns into water vapour  or when plants use water and give it off as water vapour, condensation which is when the water vapour cools and forms clouds. This process is then repeated over and over again.
