Detailed explanation-1: -Water moves through the hydrosphere in a cycle. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of rain or snow. This water collects in rivers, lakes and oceans. Then it evaporates into the atmosphere to start the cycle all over again. This is called the water cycle.
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: -The water cycle describes how water is exchanged (cycled) through Earth’s land, ocean, and atmosphere. 2-12. Earth Science, Geography, Meteorology, Physical Geography.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water cycle is the process by which water continually changes its form and circulates between oceans, atmosphere and land. The major sources of freshwater are the rivers, ponds, springs and glaciers. The movements that occur in oceans can be broadly categorised as waves, tides and currents.
Detailed explanation-5: -The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the continuous movement of water from the earth’s surface to the atmosphere and then back to the ground. It is a continuous process.
