The drying of soil due to surface residue.

Evaporation
The first stage is evaporation. The water from water bodies and plants gets evaporated.
Water is taken in in first stage, evaporation. It return back in third stage.
Condensation then precipitation and then runoff
The first stage of the water cycle is evaporation. This is when water from oceans, lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water is heated by the sun and turns into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere.
The kinetic energy of water molecules at the water surface increase.
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.
During evaporation liquid water is transformed in vapors (gaseous water).
