What are the five stages of the water cycle?

THE WATER CYCLE: A GUIDE FOR STUDENTS

Step 1: Evaporation. The water cycle starts with evaporation.

Step 2: Condensation.

As water vaporizes into water vapor, it rises up in the atmosphere.

Step 3: Sublimation.

Step 4: Precipitation.

Step 5: Transpiration.

Step 6: Runoff.

Step 7: Infiltration.

How do you explain the water cycle?

Water cycle

The cycle starts when water on the surface of the Earth evaporates.

Then, water collects as water vapor in the sky.

Next, the water in the clouds gets cold.

Then, the water falls from the sky as rain, snow, sleet or hail.

The water sinks into the surface and also collects into lakes, oceans, or aquifers.

What are the 4 main parts of the water cycle?

And the 4 steps of the water cycle. Precipitation, Evaporation, Condensation, and Transpiration. Condensation is what forms clouds up in the sky.

Where does the water cycle start?

The water cycle has no starting point. But, we'll begin in the oceans, since that is where most of Earth's water exists. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates as vapor into the air.
