Water

Water (H2O) occurs in the atmosphere and above and below the Earth's surface as a liquid, solid or gas. It is continually changing state (e.g., by freezing/thawing or evaporation/condensation) and location (e.g., gaseous, liquid or glacier flow). All water is involved in a continuous hydrologic cycle, in which evaporation into the atmosphere from oceans, lakes, rivers, and land surfaces, and transpiration through plant leaves, may be considered the first phase. This moisture is transported, often great distances, by winds and is precipitated, as rain or snow, upon water and land surfaces.
