Question

Explain the water cycle in accordance with the NCERT TEXTBOOK.{3 MARKS}

Answer 1

The water cycle occurs due to water and temperature changes. Heating of the Earth's surface leads to evaporation of water and then this water rises up on currents of heat until it reaches cooler areas of the atmosphere, where it cools and condenses into clouds. when clouds get heavy enough with water droplets, they release water as precipitation.
That water gets collected in oceans, lakes, rivers and steams before it evaporates again
