    The Water Cycle

    What are the major 4 steps in the water cycle?

    ,
    The major 4 steps are:
    1. Evaporation of water
    2.Condensation,
    3.Precipitation and
    4. Collection.
    The sun evaporates water sources and contributes to the formation of water vapor. These
    water vapour accumulate in the atmosphere as clouds. The vapours condense into water
    droplets and when enough droplets merge, it falls out of the clouds as rain. It is also called
    Hydrologic Cycle. Around 96% of the Earth's water is stored in the ocean.
    Q2
    What is the difference between evaporation and condensation?

    Evaporation is a process by which water changes into water vapour. Condensation is an


    opposite process by which water vapour is converted into tiny droplets of water.
    Q3
    Why is water cycle important?
    Water cycle has a huge impact on determining the global climate. It is also an integral part of
    other biogeochemical cycles. It affects all life processes on Earth either directly or indirectly.
    The water cycle also the cleans the air
