Explanation:
The water cycle describes how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.
Answer:
Stage I : Evaporation and Transpiration: The sunlight
heats up the water bodies and leads to the evaporation
of water. Water bodies might include rivers, lakes,
oceans, swamps, etc. Plants and trees also lose water
to the atmosphere through transpiration. All this
vapour goes up with the rising air currents towards
the sky.
Stage II : Condensation : As the vapours rise high, the
cooler temperatures make them cool down and turn
back into liquid condensation. Wind and air currents
move the moisture around, leading to the formation
of clouds.
Stage III : Precipitation : Wind movements cause
the clouds particles to collide. As they become water
laden, they develop into rain bearing clouds and fall
back onto the earth’s surface by the process known
as precipitation. This may occur in the form of rain,
hail, snow or sleet depending upon the temperature
conditions.
Stage IV : Runoff and Infiltration : The precipitation
either runs off into oceans, rivers and ground surface
or is absorbed into the soil (infiltration)
