Generally, cycle refers to a series of continuous, related events that happen over and over.

Water cycle: a continuous series of related events in which water in the ground or in the ocean are heated by the sun and change into very small drops of liquid. These drops rise into the air or into the ocean as rain.

What does the word water cycle mean?

The continuous process by which water is circulated throughout the earth and the atmosphere through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and the transpiration of plants and animals. Also called hydrologic cycle.


What does the word sublimation mean in the water cycle?

In the water cycle, sublimation refers to the process by which water transforms from a solid (ice or snow) directly into water vapor without melting into a liquid first. This occurs primarily in cold environments when there is enough energy for the water molecules to transition from a solid state to a gaseous state.


Why does the water cycle keep going at night?

The water cycle continues at night because water on Earth's surface evaporates continuously due to factors like temperature and wind. Evaporation happens both during the day and night, so the water cycle, which includes processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, remains active around the clock.


The process of plants taking up water from the soil and releases it into the air through the leaves. What is the word for this exept Water Cycle?

Transpiration.


What does the word preticipation mean in the water cycle?

I think the word you're referring to is 'precipitation'. After water vapor in the air condenses and becomes tiny droplets of liquid water, and the tiny droplets merge to form larger, heavier drops that are too heavy to remain suspended in the air, "precipitation" refers to the rain, snow, sleet, hail, or drizzle that falls to the surface.
