A cycle doesn't have a beginning or end. If you want to say the start is water on the ground, then the last step before it goes to being water on the ground again is precipitation. If you want a real end, it is when the world runs out of water.

Considering the beginning of the cycle as water in the sea, the cycle ends when the water returns to the sea.

The four basic stages are :

- evaporation (water vapor)

- condensation (water droplets or ice crystals in clouds and fog)

- precipitation (rain, ice, snow, hail)

- collection (surface water or ice)

A lot of water evaporates and condenses without entering surface water (lakes, oceans, underground water, snowpack, or glaciers). Similarly, fog can condense, collect on cold surfaces, and become surface water without any actual precipitation.

Why is water used in the water cycle?

Water is used in the WATER cycle, because its the WATER cycle. Without water vegetation and animals would die out. Leading to the end of the world for humans.


Is there a specific beginning or end in the water cycle Why or why not?

The water cycle has no starting point. That is because the cycle repeats. For example, first, the sun heats the water on Earth's surface. Then the water evaporates. Next the clouds form. Then there is condensation. Next, there is precipitation which is rain, sleet, snow, and hail. Finally, the precipitation flows into rivers, streams, and oceans. That is when the water cycle repeats all over again. It repeats over and over again. The water cycle is unstoppable.


Does the earth's water cycle end when fresh water drains into the oceans?

No. When water is evaporated into the atmosphere, the salt isn't evaporated with it. The water in the water cycle is always fresh water, and when it drains into the oceans it dimply diludes the ocean from having such a high salt content. The water cycle is always continuous and if it ended, we would all die.


What cycle has water as an end product?

The water cycle (also known as the hydrological cycle) is a continuous process where water evaporates from the earth's surface, forms clouds, and then falls back to the ground as precipitation (rain, snow, etc.). Water ultimately returns to bodies of water, completing the cycle.


Will the water cycle always be around?

Yes, the water cycle will always be present on Earth as it is a continuous process that involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. As long as there is water on Earth and energy from the sun, the water cycle will continue to function.

When is the water cycle going toend?

Water cycle is not going to end. It is an on-going process.


What would cause water pressure to drop at only 1 sink?

A clogged aerator on the end of the faucet would cause the water flow to decrease in that faucet.

How long does the water cycle last for and what does it produce?

Water cycle does not end up. It is an on-going process. It produces rain.

Why does the water cycle never end?

The water cycle never ends because it is a continuous process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that constantly recycles water on Earth.


What is a process with no beginning or end and ivolves steps that move in a predictable pattern?

A cycle is a process with no beginning or end. Cycles involve steps that move in a predictable pattern. At the end of the cycle, you find that you are back at the beginning.The water cycle is one example of a cycle in nature.

Is the water cycle a renewable resource?

Yes because it will never end.


The water cycle has no beginning or end true or false?

yes stupid quations because where does it start could it start at the run off no so the answer is yes and no it does not have a end because water never stops it keeps going doing the same thing
