Hydrological Cycle

Water moves throughout the globe and through different stages or different forms like solid, liquid and gas. First of all water from the ocean is converted into vapours by solar radiation. this process is known as Evaporation. This vapour mix as smaller droplets and finally make clouds. This process is known as Condensation. This cloud get heavier and they cannot hold the water further more. So they come back into the earth in the form of rain or snow. This process is known as Precipitation. All the water coming on to the earth gets accumulated in the rivers and other water bodies and again cycled through the previous stages. This process is known as Collection. Some of the water goes into the ground and that is called as Infiltration. There are plants and tress which also evaporates the water from their leaves. This process is known as Transpiration. There is also and another process by which solid ice directly evaporates into water without changing into gaseous form. This process is known as Sublimation. These whole processes by which water on earth is cycled through is known as hydrological cycle
