I'm learning about the water cycle in school. What is the water cycle?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The water cycle is the journey water takes as it circulates from the Earth to the air and back to the Earth again. It includes evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.<|im_end|>

How do humans impact the water cycle?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Humans can impact the water cycle in several ways, such as releasing greenhouse gases that cause climate change, which can alter precipitation patterns, and building dams that disrupt the natural flow of rivers.<|im_end|>
