While this lesson was not in the curriculum, I chose to add it here because of its relevance with the previous lesson on the limestone cycle. Originally I intended for this lesson to be part of the limestone cycle, but it ended up being its own lesson, though I didn't have any additional written content for it. This illustration was copied from artwork I found online from the USGS website. I found it to be detailed in a way other water cycles are not and I especially liked the indications of water storage in the ocean, atmosphere and in ice pack on mountains and glaciers. While the water cycle is a relatively simple concept, I think it paired well with our lessons in this block as we have now covered three cycles of 'recycling': the rock cycle, the limestone cycle and the water cycle.
