Water Cycle Concepts and Processes

The video tutorial explains the water cycle, a process that moves water through the planet via the sea, sky, and land, powered by the sun's energy. It covers the three main stages: evaporation, where water turns into vapor; condensation, where vapor forms clouds; and precipitation, where water falls as rain, snow, or hail. The video provides a detailed look at each stage, emphasizing the sun's role in heating water and the cooling effect in the sky that leads to cloud formation and precipitation. The tutorial concludes with a review of these stages, reinforcing the cyclical nature of water movement on Earth.
