What is the processes that occur in the water cycle?

Answer 1

Water is evaporated by the sun, then the water vapor rises through the atmosphere. Then when water vapor starts to cool down they become water droplets that forms the clouds. Commonly some believe that when clouds are getting heavy it will rain, this may be true but its actually more complex. The water droplets in the clouds, wait until condensation gradient arrive (like dust and small stones). They become heavy and fall back to earth. Then the cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Answer 2

The Water Cycle happens because of the sun. The sun warms the Water in the Earth's oceans, lakes, etc., and the water is evaporated up into the air as water vapor. Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds. This is called condensation. Precipitation occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain, hail, sleet or snow.

Answer 3

This cycle is made up of a few main parts: * evaporation (and transpiration) * condensation * precipitation * collection The water cycle has no starting point. But, we'll begin in the oceans, since that is where most of Earth's water exists. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air. Ice and snow can sublimate directly into water vapor. Rising air currents take the vapor up into the atmosphere, along with water from evapotranspiration, which is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. The vapor rises into the air where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds. Air currents move clouds around the globe, cloud particles collide, grow, and fall out of the sky as precipitation. Some precipitation falls as snow and can accumulate as ice caps and glaciers, which can store frozen water for thousands of years. Snowpacks in warmer climates often thaw and melt when spring arrives, and the melted water flows overland as snowmelt. Most precipitation falls back into the oceans or onto land, where, due to gravity, the precipitation flows over the ground as surface runoff. A portion of runoff enters rivers in valleys in the landscape, with streamflow moving water towards the oceans. Runoff, and ground-water seepage, accumulate and are stored as freshwater in lakes. Not all runoff flows into rivers, though. Much of it soaks into the ground as infiltration. Some water infiltrates deep into the ground and replenishes aquifers (saturated subsurface rock), which store huge amounts of freshwater for long periods of time. Some infiltration stays close to the land surface and can seep back into surface-water bodies (and the ocean) as ground-water discharge, and some ground water finds openings in the land surface and emerges as freshwater springs. Over time, though, all of this water keeps moving, some to reenter the ocean, where the water cycle "ends" ... oops - I mean, where it "begins."

Answer 4

Water will first gain heat from the sun,heat up and turn into water vapours,this is called evapouration water vapour will turn into light water droplets,it is so light that it can float in the air.This is called,condensation.It will collects other water droplets and if it is too heavy, it will fall to the ground as rain,this is called precipitation.the water cycle thus began the same way again.evapouration,condensation and precipitation are what happens in the water cycle.

Answer 5

The steps of the water cycle are: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation.

Answer 6

The processes of evaporation,condensation, and precipitation make up the water cycle.

Answer 7

There are four processes that occur during water cycle. It Includes evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.

Answer 8

evaporation condensation precipitation
