Detailed explanation-1: -The water cycle is often taught as a simple circular cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation: This is when water vapour in the air cools down and turns back into liquid water. Precipitation: This is when water (in the form of rain, snow, hail or sleet) falls from clouds in the sky.

Detailed explanation-3: -So how can we understand this magical process called the water cycle? There are four main parts to the water cycle: Evaporation, Convection, Precipitation and Collection. Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in rivers or lakes or the ocean and turns it into vapour or steam.

Detailed explanation-4: -The water cycle has many parts, with the three main parts being evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Through these processes, water changes phases from liquid to solid to gas, and back again.

Detailed explanation-5: -Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls to Earth. It is one of the three main steps of the global water cycle.
