The Journey of Water Through the Water Cycle

The video explains the water cycle, starting with evaporation where the sun heats water from various bodies, turning it into vapor. Plants contribute through transpiration. The vapor cools, forming clouds via condensation. When clouds are heavy, precipitation occurs as rain, hail, or snow. Some water seeps into the ground as groundwater, while the rest returns to water bodies, completing the cycle.
