WATER CYCLE Water Cycle‚ also known as hydrologic cycle‚ is a process that is constantly recycling the Earth ’s supply of water. This is important because humans‚ animals‚ and plants all need water to survive. It is controlled by the sun‚ which produces energy in the form of heat. This heat energy causes the water in the world ’s oceans‚ lakes‚ etc. to warm and evaporate. As the water is heated‚ it changes its phase from liquid to gas. This gas is called water vapor and this process is called
