How does the earth recycle its water?

Earth recycles it's water by the Water Cylce.

The Sun's heat heats the water causing it to evaporate in to water vapour. It also does this to plants and that is called transpiration. As the water vapour rises it cools down and forms clouds. The clouds are moved by prevaling winds. The clouds get denser and denser and eventually falls back down as rain. The rain either runs down on the Earth's surface that is called surface run

• off. Or it soaks into the ground and becomes ground water.

It takes 40,000 years for the earth to recycle its own water. Without human intervention.
