GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Energy from the sun causes water on the surface to evaporate into water vapor – a gas. This invisible vapor rises into the atmosphere, where the air is colder, and condenses into clouds. Air currents move these clouds all around the earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -When water at the ocean’s surface is heated by the Sun it gains energy. With enough energy, the molecules of liquid water change into water vapor and move into the air. This process is called evaporation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Step 1: Evaporation The first of the water cycle steps begins with evaporation. It is a process where water at the surface turns into water vapors. Water absorbs heat energy from the sun and turns into vapors. Water bodies like oceans, seas, lakes and rivers are the main source of evaporation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Precipitation, evaporation, freezing and melting and condensation are all part of the hydrological cycle-a never-ending global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds.
