Brief Explanations
The water - cycle is powered by the energy from the sun. Solar energy causes water to evaporate from the Earth's surface (oceans, lakes, etc.). This evaporated water rises into the atmosphere, condenses to form clouds, and then falls back to the Earth as precipitation. Animals, Earth's core, and plants are not the primary energy sources for the water - cycle.
