Water Cycle Concepts and Phases

The video explores the water cycle, starting with an introduction to clouds and their formation through condensation. It explains precipitation, including rain, sleet, snow, and hail, followed by the collection phase where water gathers in bodies like rivers and lakes. The evaporation stage is demonstrated with a puddle, showing how water turns into vapor. The video concludes with a recap of the water cycle stages: condensation, precipitation, collection, and evaporation.
