What are the 3 main parts of the water cycle?

Answer 1

• Evaporation (from oceans etc) and transpiration (from vegetation).
• Condensation, forming clouds.
• Precipitation in the form of rain, snow, hail and sleet.
• Run off (surface water, above ground), Underground water (infiltration, percolation), collection and storage.

Water vapour enters the atmosphere by evaporation - most from oceans, but some from rivers and lakes, plus a small amount by transpiration from plants.

The water vapour condenses in the atmosphere, and returns to the land and oceans by precipitation (rain or snow); the water that falls on land returns to the sea via rivers or surface runoff.

Answer 2

1. Precipitation

Which includes rain, snow, hail,etc.

2. Evaporation

When the sun dries the water

3. Condensation

When the evaporated water turns into water vapor and creates clouds

Answer 3

There are more than 3 parts of the water cycle but the 3 main parts of it would be Evaporation, Condensation, and then Precipitation.

Answer 4

evaporation, condensation, precipitation. evaporation is liquid turning into a gas. condensation is a gas turning into a liquid. precipitation is a solid turning into a liquid.

Answer 5

Water can become solid below zero and boil to steam above 100 deg C it also precipitates into clouds to make rain.

Answer 6

Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and accumulation. This is what happens during the water cycle. The sun, water, and probably air are the main components.

Answer 7

The three parts of water cycle are:
EVAPORATION.
CONDENSATION.
PRECIPITATION.

Answer 8

lakes, rivers, streams
