The water cycle involves the continuous circulation of water on
earth and the atmosphere. Of the many processes involved in the water
cycle, the most important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation
and precipitation.
Evaporation is the transfer of water from the surface of the Earth to
the atmosphere. By evaporation, water in the liquid state is transicrred to
the gaseous, or vapour, state. The main factors affecting evaporation
are temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation. The principal
source of water vapour is the oceans, but evaporation also occurs in soils,
snow, and ice. Evaporation from snow and ice, the direct conversion from
from solid to vapour, is known as sublimation. Transpiration is the
evaporation of water through minute pores, or stomata, in the leaves
of plants. For practical purposes, transpiration and the evaporation from
all water, soils, snow, ice, vegetation, and other surfaces are lumped
together and called evapotranspiration, or total evaporation.
The transition process from the vapour state to the liquid state is
called condensation. Condensation may take place as soon as
the air contains more water vapour than it can receive from a free water
surface through evaporation. This condition occurs as the consequence of
either cooling or the mixing of air masses of different temperatures. By
condensation, water vapour in the atmosphere is released to
form precipitation.
Precipitation is any liquid or frozen water that forms in
the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth. It comes in many forms, like
rain, sleet, and snow. Precipitation forms in the clouds when water
vapor condenses into bigger and bigger droplets of water. When the drops
are heavy enough, they fall to the Earth, If a cloud is colder, like it would
be at higher altitudes, the water droplets may freeze to form ice. These ice
crystals then fall to the Earth as snow, hail, or rain, depending on the
temperature within the cloud and at the Earth's surface. Most rain
actually begins as snow high in the clouds. As the snowflakes fall through
warmer air, they become raindrops

WHISPERING WAVES
Waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.
Powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.
Cascading and caressing each grain of sand,
‘A warm embrace between sea and land.
5 High above, a seagull soars high:
Wings of purity it spreads to fly.
Battling high against darkened cloud,
Ina wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.
Beneath, the sand is soft and warm.
10 Sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.
A passionate battle between calmness and rage,
‘Anew chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.
I listen again to the whispering waves,
Music of nature calming and brave.
15 Its power unknown, its stillness untamed,
Mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.
