The Water cycle (simple)

About this illustration

A simple, colourful diagram of the water cycle showing a cross-section landscape with ocean, land, trees, and a snowcapped mountain. Labelled elements include the sun driving evaporation from the ocean, water vapour rising to form clouds (condensation), precipitation as rain and snow onto a snowcapped mountain, surface runoff flowing downhill via a river, and groundwater infiltration seeping into soil layers below. Arrows clearly indicate the direction of each process. Style is cartoon/illustrative, suitable for primary and lower secondary learners.
