Q3. Name the four processes of water cycle in proper sequence.
Answers
Explanation:
There are four main stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Let's look at each of these stages.
Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas). Water vapour droplets join together to make clouds!
Condensation: This is when water vapour in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water.
Precipitation: This is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.
Collection: This is when water that falls from the clouds as rain, snow, hail or sleet, collects in the oceans, rivers, lakes, streams. Most will infiltrate (soak into) the ground and will collect as underground water.
The water cycle is powered by the sun's energy and by gravity. The sun kickstarts the whole cycle by heating all the Earth's water and making it evaporate. Gravity makes the moisture fall back to Earth.
Answer :-
Water cycle is the cycle of processes through which water circulates in the earth atmosphere like in the form of rain and snow then it is transfers through oceans etc.
The most important role has been played by sunlight and gravity.
Water cycle mainly involves four processes are as follows :-
• The First process is evaporation.
Evaporation :- It is process of changing water into water vapour . When due to sunlight oceans , lakes etc became warm then the water goes upwards in the form of water vapour and these water vapour droplets form clouds .
• The second process is Condensation .
Condensation :- It is the process when water vapour in the air cool down and turns back into liquid water .
• The third process is Precipitation .
Precipitation :- It is the process of changing water vapour into water. When clouds becomes heavy then they fall in the form Snow , Rain etc.
• The fourth process is Collection .
Collection :- When water falls in the form of rain , snow etc. collects in the Oceans, Rivers , Lakes etc. and most will soak into the ground and will collected as Underground water..
