 Water can be purified by distillation or other methods. The hydrological cycle of the earth 
consists of water vapor entering the atmosphere through evaporation and coming back via 
condensation and precipitation. Since oceans occupy approximately 70 percent of the planet's 
surface, the largest amount of water in the cycle is derived from the evaporation of water from the 
ocean surfaces. A secondary source of water vapor lies in rivers, lakes, and soil. Plant transpiration 
occurs in areas with heavily vegetated land and adds to the vapor in the cycle.
