Hydrologic Cycle
The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, including processes such as evaporation, precipitation, and runoff.
Mid-Ocean Ridges
Undersea mountain ranges where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and seafloor spreading.
Hot Springs
Natural springs that discharge water heated by geothermal processes from the Earth's interior.
