Water cycle

• Groundwater recharge, a process in the water cycle, helps replenish underground water sources and maintain ecosystems.
• The water cycle is the continuous movement of water between the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans.
• Evaporation occurs when heat energy from the sun causes water to change state from liquid to gas (water vapor).
• Transpiration refers to the process by which plants release water into the air through their leaves.
• Evapotranspiration refers to the combined processes of evaporation (from bodies of water) and transpiration (by plants).
• The water cycle is an important natural process that affects our environment and daily lives.
• Evaporation occurs when heat from the sun causes water to change into vapor (gas) and rise into the air as water vapor or clouds.
• Transpiration refers to the release of water vapor through plants' leaves during photosynthesis.
• Condensation happens as water vapor cools and changes back into liquid form, forming clouds.
• Precipitation involves the falling of rain or snow from clouds onto the ground.
• Infiltration describes the downward movement of precipitated water into soil or rock.
• Water moves around the planet as part of the hydrologic or water cycle.
• Condensation happens when water droplets form around tiny particles like dust, pollen, or salt in the air.
