Certainly! Here's a brief description of the water cycle:
1. Evaporation: The sun's heat causes water from oceans, lakes, and rivers to evaporate and turn into water vapor.
2. Condensation: As the water vapor rises into the atmosphere, it cools down and condenses into tiny water droplets, forming clouds.
3. Precipitation: When the water droplets in the clouds become too heavy, they fall back to the Earth's surface as precipitation, which can be rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
4. Runoff: Precipitation that falls on land can either be absorbed into the ground (infiltration) or flow over the surface as runoff, eventually making its way back to rivers, lakes, and oceans.
5. Transpiration: Plants absorb water from the ground through their roots and release it into the atmosphere through their leaves in a process called transpiration.
This is a simplified representation of the water cycle. For a visual diagram, you can search online for "water cycle diagram" to find various illustrations.
