WATER CYCLE
The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic
cycle, is the continuous movement of water on,
above, and below the surface of the Earth. It
involves several processes like evaporation,
condensation, precipitation, and collection, all
driven by solar energy and gravity.
EVAPORATION
Water from oceans, rivers, lakes, and other
bodies changes from liquid to vapor due to
the heat of the sun. Plants also contribute
through transpiration, releasing water
vapor from their leaves
CONDENSATIO
Water vapor in the air cools down and
changes back into liquid, forming clouds.
N
This happens when the air rises and cools
in the atmosphere
PRECIPITATION
When clouds become heavy with water
droplets, the water falls back to the Earth
as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, depending on
temperature
COLLECTION
The water collects in oceans, rivers, lakes,
and underground [Link] of it
infiltrates the soil, becoming groundwater,
which plants and animals can use.
RUN OFF
Water from precipitation flows over the
surface of the land and returns to larger
water bodies like rivers and oceans.
INFILTRATION
is the process by which water on the ground
surface enters the soil.
• After it rains, some water flows over the
surface (called runoff), but some of it soaks
into the ground.
• This water moves downward through pores
or cracks in the soil and rock layers.
• It helps recharge groundwater stored in
underground layers called aquifers.
