what is water cycle?
the continuous journey water takes on Earth, changing from liquid to gas and back again
what is evaporation in the water cycle
the process where liquid water absorbs energy, usually from the sun, and transforms into water vapor, a gas, which then rises into the atmosphere
what is condensation in the water cycle?
the process where water vapor in the air changes into liquid water, forming tiny droplets that create clouds, fog, and dew
what is Precipitation in the water cycle
the process where water is released from clouds and falls to Earth's surface in forms like rain, snow, sleet, or hail
what is Collection/Runoff in the water cycle
the process where this runoff, along with other forms of water, accumulates in places like streams, lakes, oceans, and underground aquifers
why water cycle work?
The sun's energy and the force of gravity
how does the water cycle work?
the continuous movement of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back again, driven by the sun's energy and gravity
