WHAT IS WATER CYCLE?

The water cycle refers to the mechanisms by which water is cycled and precipitated, resulting in the creation of water vapor.

Evaporation -  Also known as water vaporization, is a process in which water is converted into gas or water vapor. Water vaporization occurs when water (in the form of an ocean, river, lake, or other body of water) absorbs heat from the sun and turns the water into vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere.

Condensation - The process of converting a gaseous state in the form of water vapor into a liquid state in the form of rain droplets is known as condensation. This occurs when the water vapor that has risen to the surface of the atmosphere clumps together in the form of clouds due to the low temperature at high altitude in the atmosphere.

Precipitation - The process through which water is released from clouds in the form of rain, snow, hail, or other precipitation. The mixed water droplets in the clouds accumulate and fall to the ground as the wind and temperature change.
