FOUR STAGES
The water cycle is powered by the sun's energy and by gravity.
Evaporation occurs when the warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, rivers, ice, and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapor, or gas. The water vapor then joins together to make clouds.
During condensation, the water vapor (gas) cools down and turns into a liquid. This stage is very important because it is responsible for the formation of clouds, and is necessary for rain and snow formation.
During Precipitation, the clouds become extremely heavy and water is released from clouds in the form of rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail
During collection, the water that falls from the clouds as rain, sleet, snow, or hail, is collected in oceans, streams, rivers, and lakes. Majority will soak into the ground and will be collected as underground water.
