Water Cycle

Welcome to the fascinating world of the water cycle. Join us on a journey to explore
the stages and importance of this natural phenomenon.

Definition of Water Cycle
Continuous Process

The water cycle, also known as the hydrological cycle, is the continuous movement of water on,
above, and below the Earth's surface.

Key Elements

It involves evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and the flow of water in rivers and oceans,
ensuring the constant circulation of Earth's most vital resource.

Natural Balance

This dynamic process maintains the planet's water balance, regulating climate, supporting
ecosystems, and sustaining life as we know it.
 Stages of the Water Cycle
Condensation
As the water vapor cools, it forms tiny
water droplets or ice crystals, creating
clouds in the sky.
Collection
After precipitation, the water collects in
rivers, lakes, and oceans, ready to begin its
journey anew.
1 Evaporation
The sun's energy causes water to change
from its liquid state to water vapor, rising
2 into the atmosphere.
3 Precipitation
When the water droplets or ice crystals in
the clouds combine and grow, they fall to
4 the Earth's surface as rain, snow, sleet, or
hail.
 Importance of the Water Cycle
1 Nourishing Life
The water cycle provides
fresh water for drinking,
agriculture, and industrial
purposes, sustaining all
forms of life on Earth.
2 Climate Regulation
By distributing heat energy
around the planet, the water
cycle helps regulate Earth's
climate, preventing extreme
temperature fluctuations.
3 Renewable Resource
The water cycle acts as
nature's recycling system,
continuously replenishing
our fresh water supply
through a sustainable and
natural process.
