heating of water by the sun's energy which increases the temperature of the water causing some of the water to turn into water vapour at a temperature below the water's boiling point temperature.
Condensation then precipitation and then runoff
evaporation
Evaporation
Water is taken in in first stage, evaporation. It return back in third stage.
During evaporation liquid water is transformed in vapors (gaseous water).
evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and then its runoff
The drying of soil due to surface residue.
The first stage is evaporation. The water from water bodies and plants gets evaporated.

evaporation!!The stages of the water cycle is caused when water absorbs heat energy from the sun is evaporation because the hint the question gives you is absorbs and absorb means take in. Evaporation means is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance.
Clouds are formed during the condensation stage of the water cycle, not evaporation. In the evaporation stage, water from surfaces like oceans and lakes turns into vapor and rises into the atmosphere. As this water vapor cools, it condenses into tiny droplets around particles in the air, forming clouds. This process is essential for precipitation to occur.
