Transpiration Each branch of the Olympic Tree is a cycle . The water cycle is very noticeable in Olympic National Park. Westside rain forests and peaks may receive over 220 inches of ocean-born precipitation during one year. Eleven major river systems carry this water back to the sea.
Water returns to the air by evaporation from the sun and through transpiration in plants.
The water cycle sends water on a perpetual journey around the globe. No matter where you live on Earth, water and air found in Olympic today will someday pass through you or your children.
