Question

Explain the formation of the water cycle?

Accepted Answer

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water from the earth to the atmosphere and from the atmosphere to all around the Earth. There are four stages involved in the water cycle i.e. evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. When the sunlight falls, the water from the ocean or lake evaporates and turns into water vapor and goes up into the atmosphere.

In the atmosphere at certain heights, this water vapor condenses and turns into a cloud. When clouds get dense, they drop the water back to Earth in some form of precipitation like rain and snow. This water gets accumulates into different water resources like the ocean, ponds streams, and rivers. Again this water evaporates and the whole cycle starts again.
