A water molecule, in its liquid form, is, well, a liquid. It could be anywhere. In a lake, an ocean, your glass, anywhere. Then, due to heat from the sun, it evaporates, meaning it gains enough energy to turn into a gas. There it goes into the atmosphere, where it comes together with a bunch of other water molecules, condensing (cooling off and becoming liquid again) to form clouds. When there's enough water molecules in a cloud, they come together to form big droplets that begin to fall from the cloud to the ground. When they hit the ground, they seep through the ground or run off above it into lakes and streams and rivers and oceans, where they wait in liquid form to be evaporated again.

What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
What happens during the precipitation stage of the water cycle?
Thwe preticapatoin rains the water in the clods down because preicapation is water
How long does it take one water molecule to complete one cycle?
Scientists estimate that it can take a single water molecule as long as 4000 years to complete one cycle.
What happens during each of three processes that make up the water cycle?
Condensation --> Precipitation --> Evaporation
What involved in the water cycle?
Water is involved in water cycle. Water travels across different stages.
What does condinsation?
condensation happens during the water cycle
What happens during the evaporation stage of the water cycle?
During evaporation liquid water is transformed in vapors (gaseous water).
What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
What happens to the levels of the oceans in the water cycle?
During the evaporation stage, the level of water cycle falls. But after precipitation it rises once again.
What happens during Precipitation water cycle?
During precipitation, water comes back to earth surface. It comes back in the form of rain.
Where does solidification happen in the water cycle?
Solidification involves conversion of water to ice. It happens during snowfall in precipitation.
What happens during the precipitation stage of the water cycle?
Thwe preticapatoin rains the water in the clods down because preicapation is water
How long does a water molecule circulate in the water cycle?
Not possible to tell.
What is the cycle of the water molecule?
Evaporation condensation precipitation
