I WONDER - What Are The Stages In The Water Cycle?

The video tutorial explains the four main stages of the water cycle: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Evaporation occurs when the sun heats the Earth's surface, causing water to turn into vapor. Transpiration is a similar process in plants. Condensation happens when water vapor cools and forms clouds. Precipitation occurs when clouds become too heavy, resulting in rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Finally, collection is when precipitation gathers in bodies of water, restarting the cycle.

What is the process of evaporation and how does it occur?

How do evaporation and transpiration contribute to the water cycle?

Describe the process of condensation and its significance in the water cycle.

What happens during precipitation and what forms can it take?

Explain the final stage of the water cycle known as collection.
