The Water Cycle: Following the Water

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This The Water Cycle: Following the Water instructional video also includes:
  • NASA Visualization Explorer
  • Graphic & Image
  • Join to access all included materials

Water that leaves the oceans must eventually return. The animations in the final lesson of the four-part NASA series show the complex path water can take across landforms before returning to the ocean. Approximately one-third of the water that falls on land comes from the ocean—and then eventually returns.
