The Water Cycle (also known as the hydrologic cycle) refers to the journey water takes as it circulates from the land to the sky and back again. It involves the transformation of the water into three of the states in which it does exist in namely; gaseous, liquid and at time even v state.
The cycle starts with having the sun heat up the earth surface. This causes the heat energy to evaporate the water on the earth’s surface mostly changing it from the liquid state to a gaseous state through evaporation. This happens on the earth’s surface as well as on the water bodies. The same case happens to the plants which are also heated making them to lose water into the air through a process known as transpiration. The heated water is lighter than the cold air making it to rise above the earth surface. (more…)
