Detailed explanation-1: -The seven stages of the water cycle in order are as follows: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, sublimation, transpiration, runoff, and infiltration.

Detailed explanation-2: -The water cycle shows the continuous movement of water within the Earth and atmosphere. It is a complex system that includes many different processes. Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow.

Detailed explanation-3: -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: -Many processes work together to keep Earth’s water moving in a cycle. There are five processes at work in the hydrologic cycle: condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and evapotranspiration. These occur simultaneously and, except for precipitation, continuously.
