What steps in the water cycle involve a change of state?

The steps in the water cycle that involve a change of state are evaporation (liquid water to water vapor), condensation (water vapor to liquid water), and precipitation (water droplets or ice crystals falling from clouds).


Why is the water cycle a physical change?

because during a water cycle only the state of the water molecules are changed i.e. first from liquid to vapour and then to solid (snow and hailstorm) or liquid (rain). since there is a change only in the physical state of water and there is no change in the chemical properties of the water molecule it is a physical change.


What changes of state can be seen in the water cycle?

the change of state in the water cycle is when the sun heats the water which makes it evaporate. This is what makes a cloud, the water vapour then condenses which makes it rain. THis causes the cycle to start all over again. Writen By James Hayman


Is evaporation a chemical change during the water cycle?

The water cycle is a physical change. Water changes from a liquid in the ocean to a gas and then back to a liquid when it becomes rain. You must understand that water can be in any one of three PHYSICAL states, liquid, solid or vapor ( a gas ). Changing physical states is not a chemical change, but a direct result of heat or cold application.


What is the purpose of heat and pressure in the water cycle?

Heat and pressure help in changing the state of matter. Water exists in different state in water cycle.
