hydrological cycle (water cycle) Circulation of water around the Earth. Water evaporates from the sea; most falls back into the oceans, but cloud carries some over land. There it falls as precipitation, and by surface run off or infiltration and seepage, it gradually finds its way back to the sea. Less than 1% of the world's water is involved in this cycle.
