∙ 12y agoThe Sun heats the earth, causing evaporation of water. When the water is in the clouds and atmospheric conditions become such that the temperature of the clouds drops below the point at which they can support the water vapor, the water condenses into drops or crystals and falls in the form of rain or snow.
That is the water cycle.
The Sun provides the energy, and the heat energy from the Sun is caused by the nuclear reaction that is taking place.

Describe the water cycle and the importance of the suns radiant energy in that cycle?
it allows the water cycle to continuously vaporize the water into mist
Which is the processes of the water cycle occur by releasing energy?
Precipitation.
What provides the energy needed for evaporation to occur naturally in the water cycle?
The kinetic energy of the molecules is the source.
What does energy that powers the water cycle comes from?
The energy that drives the water cycle is from the Sun.
What is the energy source that drives the watre cycle?
The energy source behind the water cycle is solar energy. It is the only energy which initiates water cycle.

Were does water occur in the cycle?
Evaporation can be considered as the first step in the water cycle.
What is a type of change that does not occur in the water cycle called?
Chemical change does not occur in water cycle. There is no change in chemical structure.
What is the source of energy that the water cycle?
The sun is the source of energy that creates the water cycle.
Which of the processes of water cycle occur to releaseing energy?
In the water cycle heat energy is released during the processes of condensation and freezing. 334 J/g is released during freezing and 2260 J/g is released during condensation.
Where does energy for the water cycle come from?
Source of energy is the sun.
Name 2 pairs of reversible reations that can occur in the water cycle?
Evaporation and condensation are reversible reactions. They occur in water cycle.
