Hydrological Cycle or Water Cycle - In 9 Simple Stages
Hydrological Cycle
Dr. Manishika Jain explains the Hydrological Cycle in 9 Simple Stages:
1. Evaporation
2. Transportation
3. Sublimation & Deposition
4. Condensation
5. Precipitation
6. Interception
7. Percolation
8. Infiltration
9. Run-Off
- Begins with the evaporation of water.
- Evaporation increases the amount of moisture in air immediately above the surface.
- Water vapor condenses to clouds.
- Moisture returns to the surface as precipitation.
- Evaporate back into the atmosphere
- Penetrate the surface and become groundwater. Groundwater seeps into the oceans, rivers, and streams
- Released back into the atmosphere through transpiration.
- Runoff, empties into lakes, rivers and streams to the oceans
