Water Cycle Processes and Concepts

The video explains the water cycle, starting with evaporation where water turns into vapor due to heat. This vapor rises and condenses into clouds, a process called condensation. When clouds become heavy, precipitation occurs, releasing rain, hail, or snow. The cycle continues as water collects in bodies of water and seeps into the ground. Additional processes like transpiration and sublimation are also discussed, highlighting their roles in the water cycle.
