Water doesn't spontaneously freeze (thank goodness). It freezes because heat is being removed from it (by a fridge, for instance). As heat is gradually removed the molecules of water vibrate less and less as they lose energy. Eventually the random vibration almost stops and the molecules form into a fixed array like an army on parade. This lattice structure is so much stronger than individual water molecules flying about hither and thither and is called ice.
A type of change that does not occur in the water cycle is the transformation of matter into a different chemical element. In the water cycle, water remains as H2O molecules throughout the various processes such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, without changing its fundamental composition.
The process of evaporation in the water cycle releases energy in the form of heat. When water evaporates from oceans, lakes, or rivers, it absorbs heat energy from the surroundings to change into water vapor. This heat energy is later released when the water vapor condenses into clouds, releasing latent heat back into the atmosphere.
I would think that its the saturation of clouds as if its cold surely the water vapour can condense and turn to rain or another form of precipitation.
The melting/freezing point of water is oC.The boiling point of water is 100 oC at standard pressure.Evaporation occur at any temperature.
Precipitation.
The sun provides most of the energy for the water cycle to occur.
Evaporation can be considered as the first step in the water cycle.
Freezing!
Water freezing occurs at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Evaporation and condensation are reversible reactions. They occur in water cycle.

The water cycle occur between the earth and the air. It is a cyclic process.
Yes, the water cycle occurs all over the world.
