प्रश्न
What are the different stages of water cycle?
उत्तर
Stage 1: Evaporation – The heat of the sun falls on the water bodies like Ocean, Sea, Lakes, Rivers, etc. The water slowly evaporates as vapours into the air.
Stage 2: Condensation – As the vapours rise high, the cooler temperatures make them cool down and turn back into liquid. This is called condensation. Wind and air move the liquid around, leading to the formation of clouds.
Stage 3: Precipitation – Wind movements cause the clouds particles to collide. They become rain-bearing clouds and fall back onto the earth’s surface by the process known as precipitation. This may occur in the form of rain, hail, snow, or sleet depending upon the temperature conditions.
Stage 4: Runoff and Infiltration – The water either runs off into oceans, rivers, and ground surface or is absorbed into the soil (infiltration). This cycle continues.
