Understanding the Water Cycle Processes

The video explains the water cycle, starting with precipitation, which includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail. It describes how water moves from the earth to the sky and back, emphasizing evaporation, where water turns into vapor, and condensation, where vapor forms clouds. The cycle is crucial for maintaining life, as it provides water for drinking and plant growth. The video concludes with a recap of the cycle's stages and its significance.
