Question

what is water cycle and its effect

Answer 1

The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water Cycle:-

• Water cycle is a process in which water of the oceans or seas evaporate and the water vapour rises up.
• As the water vapour reaches up, they cool down and form clouds. When this process goes on continusly there are lots of water vapour in the sky.
• When the clouds become heavy enough, they fall down back to earth in the form of rain, snow, etc. which we call as precipitation.
• This process is continuous, as through the precipitation water again fill up seas and oceans again it get evaporated and then again clouds and precipitation.
• This is a non-stop continuous process which we call as Water Cycle.
