Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: –transpiration for transpiration. Evapotranspiration is the sum of all processes by which water moves from the land surface to the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evaporation, one of the major processes in the cycle, is the transfer of water from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere. By evaporation, water in the liquid state is transferred to the gaseous, or vapour, state.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is evaporation and transpiration in the water cycle? Evaporation is the process of surface water absorbing heat energy from the sun or from warm air and changing from a liquid to a gas. Transpiration is when water evaporates through plants.
