GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Water cycles throughout the system continuously as the sun’s radiation causes it to evaporate, rise into the atmosphere, condense, then fall as precipitation to be used or recycled.

Detailed explanation-2: -Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).

Detailed explanation-3: -Water at the Earth’s surface evaporates into water vapor, then rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the water cycle, evaporation occurs when sunlight warms the surface of the water. The heat from the sun makes the water molecules move faster and faster, until they move so fast they escape as a gas. Once evaporated, a molecule of water vapor spends about ten days in the air.

Detailed explanation-5: -Evaporation is when water turns into the gas. When there is enough water molecules the cloud forms, which is condensation. Whan there too many water molecules, the cloud is heavy, and it starts to rain. Raining is Precipitation.
