The Earth's water cycle is crucial for maintaining the planet's freshwater resources and supporting life from "summary" of Earth System Science by Timothy Lenton

The movement of water on Earth is fundamental to the functioning of our planet's ecosystems. The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, describes how water circulates within the Earth system. Water evaporates from the surface of the Earth into the atmosphere, where it condenses to form clouds. These clouds then release precipitation in the form of rain or snow, which replenishes the Earth's freshwater resources. This cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation is essential for maintaining the planet's water balance. Freshwater is a precious resource that is necessary for all forms of life to thrive. The water cycle plays a critical role in distributing freshwater across the planet, ensuring that ecosystems have access to the water they need to s...
