def 588cc982
value: The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle or the hydrological cycle, is a biogeochemical cycle that describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water (salt water) and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor. The ocean plays a key role in the water cycle as it is the source of 86% of global evaporation.

definition
definition: A statement or formal explanation of the meaning of a concept.
sub property of: note

is in scheme
definition: Relates a resource (for example a concept) to a concept scheme in which it is included.

preferred label
comment: A resource has no more than one value of skos:prefLabel per language tag, and no more than one value of skos:prefLabel without language tag.
comment: The range of skos:prefLabel is the class of RDF plain literals.
comment: skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are pairwise disjoint properties.
definition: The preferred lexical label for a resource, in a given language.
sub property of: label

has broader
comment: Broader concepts are typically rendered as parents in a concept hierarchy (tree).
definition: Relates a concept to a concept that is more general in meaning.
sub property of: broaderTransitive

has narrower
comment: Narrower concepts are typically rendered as children in a concept hierarchy (tree).
definition: Relates a concept to a concept that is more specific in meaning.
sub property of: narrowerTransitive

has exact match
comment: skos:exactMatch is disjoint with each of the properties skos:broadMatch and skos:relatedMatch.
definition: skos:exactMatch is used to link two concepts, indicating a high degree of confidence that the concepts can be used interchangeably across a wide range of information retrieval applications. skos:exactMatch is a transitive property, and is a sub-property of skos:closeMatch.
sub property of: closeMatch
