The Water Cycle
The Water Cycle
The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, is a continuous process through which water circulates in the Earth’s atmosphere, land, and bodies of water. This cycle is vital for sustaining life on Earth, as it regulates climate and provides freshwater resources.
Stages of the Water Cycle
Evaporation: The cycle begins with the evaporation of water from oceans, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. This process converts liquid water into water vapour due to the heat from the sun.
