This document discusses the water cycle through evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and precipitation. It explains that evaporation turns water from a liquid to gas as it absorbs heat from surfaces like lakes and oceans. Transpiration is the movement of water through plants and their evaporation from leaves. Condensation occurs when water vapor in clouds turns back to liquid as droplets, and precipitation delivers this water back to Earth as rain, snow, or hail.

• EVAPORATION
Water evaporation is a physical process by which water
changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. This process takes place on the water surface starting at a certain temperature and until the air is saturated with vapor.
The process of evaporation depends on the surface area
that is exposed and the percentage of vapor in the surroundings. The drier the layer of air above the water – or, in other words, the less saturated the air is – the higher the rate of evaporation. • TRANSPIRATION
Transpiration is the collective term for this
water intake at the roots, water transport through plant tissues, and vapor emission by leaves
Transpiration is the process of water
movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. • CONDENSATION Condensation is the process of water vapor turning back into liquid water, with the best example being those big, fluffy clouds floating over your head. And when the water droplets in clouds combine, they become heavy enough to form raindrops to rain down onto your head. • PRECIPITATION
Precipitation is water released from clouds in the form of
rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It is the primary connection in the water cycle that provides for the delivery of atmospheric water to the Earth. Most precipitation falls as rain.08-Sept-2019
