Exploring the Water Cycle Process

The video tutorial introduces the water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on Earth. It explains the key processes involved: evaporation, where water turns into vapor due to the sun's heat; condensation, where vapor cools and forms clouds; precipitation, where water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail; collection, where water gathers in bodies of water or underground; and transpiration, where plants release water vapor. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and engage.

What happens to water vapor during condensation?

• It falls as rain

• It freezes

• It evaporates

• It forms droplets

What gathers together to form clouds?

• Ice crystals

• Water vapor

• Water lakes

• Water droplets

Which forms of water can precipitation include?

• Only snow

• Only sleet

• Rain and snow

• Only rain

What happens when water droplets become too heavy in clouds?

• They fall as precipitation

• They disperse as fog

• They stay suspended

• They rise higher

Where does the water collect after precipitation?
