"Evaporation" changes a liquid to a gas. Energy (from the sun... or the burner on your stove) heats up the water, speeding up the movement of the molecules until they bounce so far apart that they become a gas and "evaporate" into the air.
"Condensation" happens when the temperature of the moist air (containing evaporated water) cools, making water molecules to stick to whatever they can find (like dust... or the outside of a cold glass). Condensation makes a cloud. Once enough condensation has happened and the droplets of liquid water are heavy enough, they fall to the ground as rain or "precipitation".

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.
Which process involves the transformation of liquid water into gaseous water vapor in the water cycle?
The process that involves the transformation of liquid water into gaseous water vapor in the water cycle is called evaporation. This occurs when heat energy from the sun causes liquid water on the Earth's surface to change into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
What steps to the water cycle lowest to highest?
The steps of water cycle include:EVaporation of waterCondensationPrecipitationThe water is recycled using this method.
Can the water cycle ever change?
Not unless our atmosphere changes (like an ice age). The water cycle then will still have the same steps but just not in the same amounts.

What are steps in water cycle that change a liquid or solid to a gas?
If you want to ask questions about the "following", then I suggest that you make sure that there is something that is following.
What stage of the water cycle does the water get cold and change from a gas into a liquid?
plasma
Is water changing to water vapour a reversible or irreversible change?
The change of water to water vapor is reversible, as water vapor can condense back into liquid water through a process called condensation. This cycle of evaporation and condensation is part of the water cycle.
How does an object change state?
AnswerElements change state when something changes, such as having another substance added to them or a change in temperature.Elements: solids, liquids, gases. solid to liquid = when the ice is layed out in heat it will melt to a liquid liquid to gas= when water from a pond or a glass of water when part of the water cycle is happening the water evaporates. gas to liquid= condensation (part of the water cycle). liquid to solid= freeze water or another liquid and you can get ice... that's all i have for ya!!!!

What does liquid mean in the water cycle?
Liquid describes state of matter. It exists as water in water cycle.

What evidence suggests that water goes through a physical change when it evaporates in the water cycle?
water vapor condenses to form liquid water
