A U.S. Geological Survey scientist used a custom-built, high-speed camera to remotely measure the temperature of spattering lava on the surface of Kīlauea Volcano's summit lava lake (background). This particular experiment, conducted from the Jaggar Museum overlook in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park on December 10, 2016, was part of a NASA-funded research project.

O ciclo da água, também comumente conhecido como ciclo hidrológico, descreve a existência e o movimento contínuo da água sobre, dentro e acima da Terra. A água da Terra está sempre em movimento e sempre mudando de estado, de liquido para vapor, depois para gelo e novamente de volta para seu estado inicial.
